EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a group of badger hunters gathered outside The Plough Inn, in the picturesque village of Pyecombe, Sussex, in 1911. The men, dressed in hunting attire, are seen huddled around a sign bearing the insignia of the local hunting club, "Tamplin's Huth," with their terriers at their feet. The pub's name, "The Plough," is prominently displayed on the wall behind them. Badger hunting was a popular pastime in rural Sussex during this era, and the community at Pyecombe was no exception. The hunters would meet at the inn before setting out on their nighttime digs, using diggers to unearth the badgers from their setts. The sport was considered a test of skill and endurance, as well as a means of controlling the badger population, which was believed to damage crops and livestock. Despite the controversy surrounding badger hunting today, this photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into a bygone era, when rural communities relied on traditional methods to manage their local wildlife and maintain their way of life. The men in the photograph appear focused and determined, their faces etched with the marks of hard work and dedication to their sport. The warm glow of the inn's lights spills out onto the street, creating a sense of camaraderie and belonging among the hunters. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the rich history and traditions of rural Sussex, and the deep connection between the people and the land they call home.
