NEAR POWELL GARDENS

1928

Captured in 1928, this serene photograph shows a peaceful stretch of country road in Denton, near Newhaven, East Sussex. The rustic fence leads the eye along the quiet lane, flanked by a narrow stream on one side and gentle rolling hills in the background. A lone figure stands at a distance, perhaps a local villager or cyclist, blending into the tranquil rhythm of rural life.

The scene exudes a timeless charm — a moment before the world rushed forward with modernity. These pathways, now paved and perhaps busy, once echoed only with the sound of birds, footsteps, and the occasional cart wheel. Just beyond the frame lies Powell Gardens, a reminder of the enduring natural beauty in the area.
