EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from December 1933, we are transported back in time to Upperton, a quaint village nestled in the heart of West Sussex. The image captures a heartwarming scene that epitomizes the spirit of Christmas and rural life during the 1930s. A man stands proudly amidst a flock of majestic White Turkeys, cradling one under each arm. With an air of familiarity and warmth, he engages in conversation with a young boy who looks up at him with awe and curiosity. Behind them, traditional farm buildings stand tall against the winter sky, their weathered walls bearing witness to generations past. This snapshot evokes nostalgia for simpler times when communities relied on local farms for sustenance. As Christmas approaches, it serves as a reminder of the importance placed on food during this festive season. These turkeys symbolize abundance and prosperity – destined to become cherished centerpieces adorning countless dinner tables. Preserved within the George Garland Collection at West Sussex Record Office, this photograph offers us a glimpse into history while igniting our imagination about Christmases long gone by. It transports us to an era where family bonds were strengthened over shared meals made from scratch with love and care. As we admire this remarkable piece capturing both tradition and innocence, let us reflect upon our own holiday celebrations today. May it inspire gratitude for those who came before us while reminding us to cherish every moment spent together around our own Christmas tables - creating memories that will be treasured
