EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1948, offering a glimpse into the innovative mind of Mr. Plunkett from Bury Gate, Pulborough. Standing proudly in the frame is his groundbreaking invention - a portable chicken house that revolutionized poultry farming in West Sussex. The image showcases this ingenious creation, designed to provide shelter and comfort for fowl on the move. The coop stands tall against the picturesque countryside backdrop, symbolizing both progress and harmony with nature. Its sturdy structure hints at durability while exuding an air of simplicity. Within its walls lies a bustling world of feathered creatures; hens clucking contentedly as they go about their daily routines. This mobile haven allows farmers to effortlessly transport their livestock across vast expanses of land, ensuring fresh grazing opportunities for these fortunate birds. The George Garland Collection has preserved this remarkable piece of history, capturing not only Mr. Plunkett's ingenuity but also reflecting the agricultural heritage that defines West Sussex County Council's region. It serves as a reminder of how human innovation can enhance our relationship with animals and improve farming practices without compromising their well-being. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, it evokes feelings of admiration for those who have dedicated themselves to nurturing life on farms throughout generations past. Let us celebrate this testament to human creativity and compassion towards our fellow creatures within nature's magnificent tapestry
