EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1938, offering a glimpse into the world of duck rearing at St Andrews Poultry Farm in Brooks Green. The image showcases a scene filled with adorable Aylesbury ducklings, being carefully nurtured for their eventual purpose on our tables. In this snapshot of history, we witness the meticulous care given to these young ducklings within brooder houses equipped with wire runs. These enclosures provide a safe haven for the delicate creatures as they grow and develop under human supervision. The pen exudes an atmosphere of warmth and protection, ensuring that every need of these precious birds is met. The attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this photograph - from the sturdy hatch that separates them from the outside world to the well-maintained enclosure where they can freely roam. It's clear that no expense was spared when it came to creating a comfortable environment for these future culinary delights. Preserved within West Sussex Record Office's George Garland Collection, this image serves as a testament to both agricultural practices and animal husbandry during its time. It offers us an opportunity to reflect on how farming has evolved over decades while reminding us of our responsibility towards sustainable food production. Let this remarkable photograph transport you back in time, allowing you to appreciate not only its historical significance but also the dedication involved in rearing animals destined for our plates.
