This authentic 1970s colour photograph captures a northward view of Lombard Street in Petworth, West Sussex. Taken in 1978, the image provides a factual record of one of the town’s most picturesque and historic thoroughfares. The scene documents the varied architecture of the lane, featuring traditional red brick and stone-built cottages with clay-tiled roofs, some of which are adorned with climbing ivy and window boxes.
The photograph serves as a record of local commerce in the late 1970s, with hanging signs visible for the Petworth Gallery and a local Book Shop. Pedestrians in period attire, including a woman carrying a wicker shopping basket and a man with a pram, navigate the traditional cobbled surface. This archival shot preserves the timeless, quintessential character of this Sussex market town, making it an excellent resource for local history enthusiasts and collectors of British townscapes.
