Taken by the talented photographer George Garland, this image is part of the esteemed Garland Collection housed at the West Sussex Record Office. The scene depicted in this photograph exudes a sense of tranquility and rural charm. Nestled within the picturesque countryside, possibly in Petworth, we witness a moment frozen in time. A group of individuals can be seen huddled together under an old oak tree, their attentive gazes fixated on something beyond our view. Their postures suggest intense concentration as they listen intently to what seems like distant sounds or whispers.

The soft lighting and natural backdrop enhance the rustic ambiance surrounding these listeners. Preserved with care by West Sussex County Council's Record Office, this mesmerizing snapshot offers us a glimpse into history while leaving room for interpretation. It invites us to ponder who these people were and what captivated their attention so fully during those peaceful moments amidst nature's embrace.
