EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, taken on 7 August 1945, we are transported back in time to the picturesque Trawlers Farm in Shipley. The image showcases a group of resilient Land Army girls diligently engaged in pea harvesting, under the watchful eye of the esteemed farmer himself. The scene is brimming with an air of camaraderie and determination as these young women load freshly picked peas onto a trailer, their faces adorned with sweat and smiles alike. Their unwavering commitment to supporting the war effort through agriculture shines through each frame. Amidst the rolling hills and lush green fields, a vintage tractor stands proudly nearby; its presence serving as a testament to both progress and tradition within rural farming practices. This snapshot encapsulates not only hard work but also highlights the vital role played by women during this era. Preserved within the George Garland Collection at West Sussex Record Office Ref. No. N25188, this evocative photograph offers us a glimpse into our agricultural heritage - reminding us of simpler times when manual labor was essential for cultivating crops that sustained communities. As we admire this poignant piece of history captured forever on film, let us reflect upon those who dedicated themselves to feeding our nation during challenging times while celebrating their invaluable contributions to our shared rural legacy.
