EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the George Garland Collection, we are transported back to a simpler time in rural Sussex. The image showcases two country folk engrossed in their daily routine of feeding chickens on a picturesque farm. It is believed that this snapshot was taken around 1935, capturing the essence of life during that era. The scene unfolds within the cozy confines of a traditional barn, with sunlight streaming through cracks in the wooden walls. A tanner-clad man stands at the top of a flight of stairs, holding a bucket filled to the brim with grain. With care and tenderness, he scatters handfuls towards an eager flock of chickens gathered below him. His companion, dressed in humble attire, watches attentively as she leans against a rustic 5 bar gate framing their idyllic farmyard setting. In her hands rests another bucket ready to be replenished for further nourishment. As they go about their task together, it becomes evident that these friends share not only responsibilities but also moments of camaraderie amidst nature's beauty. The presence of an assertive cockerel adds an element of liveliness to this serene tableau. This remarkable photograph serves as both a testament to our agricultural heritage and an invitation to appreciate the simplicity and tranquility found within rural landscapes. Preserved by West Sussex County Council's Record Office Ref No: Garland N10904, it allows us to glimpse into history while cherishing timeless values such as hard work and connection with nature
