EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the George Garland Collection takes us back in time to October 1947, where we find ourselves inside the charming Smith Café at Buck Barn. The café exudes a warm and inviting atmosphere as we witness two women enjoying their tea break amidst its cozy ambiance. Behind the counter stands a lady, her presence radiating an air of efficiency and dedication. She skillfully attends to customers' needs with a smile on her face, ensuring that everyone's experience is nothing short of delightful. Across from her, another woman sits patiently at one of the tables adorned with crisp white tablecloths, elegant cutlery, and delicate crockery. Her anticipation for her cup of tea is palpable. The café's décor reflects the contemporary style prevalent during this era. Modern chairs line both the counter and tables, providing comfort while adding a touch of sophistication to this humble establishment. It is evident that attention has been paid to every detail within this quaint tea shop. Preserved by West Sussex Record Office under Ref. No. Garland N28837, this photograph captures not only a moment frozen in time but also serves as a testament to the rich history embedded within West Sussex County Council's archives. As we gaze upon this snapshot from yesteryears, it transports us back to an era where simple pleasures like sipping tea in good company held immense value—a nostalgic reminder of how even mundane moments can hold profound beauty when viewed through the lens of history.
