EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a bygone era in rural West Sussex. Taken during the West Grinstead Ploughing Match in October 1934, it offers a glimpse into the timeless tradition of ploughing competitions that were once an integral part of agricultural life. The scene is set against a picturesque backdrop of rolling fields, bathed in the warm hues of autumn. A team of majestic horses, their harnesses gleaming under the sunlight, are diligently pulling a traditional plough through the rich earth. The skillful hands guiding them belong to hardworking farmers who have honed their craft over generations. In this snapshot frozen in time, one can almost hear the rhythmic sounds of hooves treading on soil and see clouds of dust rising from behind as these dedicated individuals strive for perfection. Standing nearby are judges with discerning eyes, carefully evaluating each furrow created with precision and expertise. Amidst this rustic beauty stands a cow grazing peacefully in its pasture – an emblematic symbol representing harmony between man and nature. It serves as a reminder that agriculture not only sustains livelihoods but also fosters coexistence with animals and nurtures our connection to land. Preserved within the George Garland Collection at West Sussex Record Office, this remarkable image transports us back to an era when farming was both artistry and livelihood. It encapsulates an enduring legacy that continues to shape our understanding and appreciation for rural heritage today.
