EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a lively tennis party held in the quaint village of Coldwaltham back in 1927. The group, brimming with enthusiasm for the sport, exudes an air of timeless elegance and camaraderie. Amongst the players is George Garland himself, whose collection this photograph belongs to. The image transports us to a bygone era where tennis was not just a game but also a social event that brought people together. The participants are dressed impeccably in their finest attire - men donning crisp white shirts and trousers while women showcase fashionable dresses paired with stylish hats. Their smiles reveal the joy they derive from both playing tennis and enjoying each other's company. The setting itself adds charm to this snapshot of history; nestled amidst West Sussex's picturesque landscapes, it showcases nature's beauty as well as human recreation. The lush greenery surrounding the court provides an idyllic backdrop for this gathering of sports enthusiasts. Preserved by the West Sussex Record Office, this photo serves as a testament to our enduring love affair with tennis and its ability to foster connections across generations. It reminds us that beyond being merely a competitive sport, tennis has always been about forging friendships and creating cherished memories
