EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment frozen in time, showcasing the West Sussex Young Farmers Club Plough Sunday celebration on January 13th, 1963. Despite the chilly winter weather, this vibrant club procession braved the snow-covered streets of Chichester with unwavering determination. The image reveals a group of dedicated young men dressed in their practical overalls, proudly carrying banners that symbolize their commitment to farming traditions. As they march through an archway leading to a majestic cathedral, one can't help but admire their resilience against the biting cold. The backdrop of this scene is adorned with historical charm - an ancient flint wall stands tall behind them, adding character and depth to the composition. The juxtaposition between these sturdy stone walls and the delicate snowflakes falling from above creates a visually striking contrast. While Christmas may have passed by weeks earlier, there is still an air of festive spirit lingering in this photograph. The ploughmen's presence near the church doorway evokes feelings of reverence and faith as they honor age-old customs associated with agriculture. Preserved by Chichester Photographic Society and now housed at West Sussex Record Office Ref No: CPS1600/5), this remarkable snapshot serves as a testament to both local history and community pride. It encapsulates not only a specific event but also represents the enduring spirit of camaraderie among those who work tirelessly for our sustenance amidst even nature's harshest conditions.
