EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a scene from the 19th century, showcasing women diligently weeding at Whiteleys Farms. The image, taken by an English photographer whose name remains unknown, is part of a private collection that offers us a glimpse into the history of orchards, gardens, and farms during this era. The photo was originally featured in Alfred Barnard's book titled "Orchards and Gardens Ancient and Modern" published in London in 1895. It served as an illustration for Mr. William Whiteley's extensive agricultural ventures located in Westbourne Grove, London. In this remarkable snapshot, we witness the hard work and dedication of these women as they tend to the crops under their care. Their attire reflects the fashion trends of the time - long dresses with aprons to protect them from dirt and dust. Whiteleys Farms played a significant role in shaping the landscape of Hanworth through its model farms and factories owned by Mr. William Whiteley himself. This photograph serves as a testament to his commitment towards creating thriving agricultural spaces within urban settings. Preserved over time, this historical print allows us to appreciate not only the beauty but also gain insight into farming practices prevalent during that period. It stands as a reminder of our connection to nature's bounty while honoring those who labored tirelessly on these fertile lands.
