EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph transports us back to the year 1928, where we witness a scene of immense dedication and hard work in rural West Sussex. The image showcases the art of drilling mangels beneath the picturesque South Downs at Storrington, capturing a moment frozen in time by photographer George Garland. In this snapshot from history, we are reminded of the crucial role that farming played in sustaining communities during this era. A team of horses can be seen pulling ploughs through the fertile fields, as farmers meticulously prepare the land for planting these nutritious root vegetables. The sheer determination etched on their faces is palpable, reflecting their commitment to providing sustenance for both humans and livestock alike. The beauty lies not only in the agricultural process but also in how it harmoniously blends with nature's bounty. The rolling hills of West Sussex serve as an idyllic backdrop to this laborious task, reminding us of our deep connection to the land that sustains us. Preserved within West Sussex Record Office's Garland Collection, this remarkable photograph offers a glimpse into a bygone era when agriculture was truly a way of life. It serves as a testament to those who dedicated themselves to cultivating crops and nurturing animals with unwavering dedication. As we gaze upon this historical print today, let us appreciate the resilience and resourcefulness exhibited by generations past while acknowledging our own responsibility towards sustainable farming practices that ensure food security for future generations.
