EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the vibrant atmosphere of Cowdray Point to Point in April 1947. Amidst a sea of eager spectators, our gaze is immediately drawn towards the charismatic figure of Stewart Granger, a well-known actor and film star of his time. Standing amidst the crowd, he exudes an air of effortless elegance and charm. As we delve into this snapshot from history, it becomes evident that even Hollywood's brightest stars found solace in the simple pleasures offered by events like these. Here, far away from the glitz and glamour of Tinseltown, Granger immerses himself in the thrill and excitement of horse racing. The photograph captures a moment frozen in time - a testament to both Granger's love for theater and his passion for equestrian pursuits. His presence adds an extra layer of allure to an already exhilarating event. Preserved within the George Garland Collection at West Sussex Record Office, this image serves as a reminder that fame does not always separate us from life's simpler joys. It encapsulates how even those who tread upon grand stages can find respite among everyday people while indulging their personal interests. This remarkable photograph offers us a glimpse into a bygone era when entertainment was not confined solely to screens but could be experienced firsthand amidst cheering crowds on sunny afternoons at Cowdray Point to Point.
