EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from August 1936, we are transported to the idyllic countryside of Upperton, Sussex. Two distinguished country gentlemen can be seen engaged in a leisurely conversation by a rustic well. The image exudes a sense of tranquility and camaraderie as these men take respite from their daily rural activities. Both men sport impressive beards that add to their rugged charm, while their attire reflects the fashion of the era - waistcoats neatly buttoned over crisp shirts. With buckets at their side, it is evident that they have just completed some essential farmyard tasks and now enjoy a moment of relaxation under the warm sunshine. The backdrop showcases an enchanting flint building, perhaps a farmhouse or barn, which adds character to this picturesque scene. The simplicity and authenticity captured in this photograph transport us back in time to an era when life revolved around close-knit communities and hard work on the land. This remarkable image belongs to the George Garland Collection housed at West Sussex Record Office. It serves as a poignant reminder of our rich agricultural heritage and offers glimpses into simpler times where friendships were forged amidst rolling fields and shared experiences.
