EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph from the late Victorian era, captured in 1899, a group of men are seen engaged in the traditional rural craft of hurdle making in the English countryside. The scene exudes a sense of tranquility and camaraderie, as the men work together to create these essential agricultural structures. The process of hurdle making involves the splitting and shaping of hazel rods, which are then fixed upright to create a half-round frame. These frames are used to construct fences, gates, and other structures for livestock enclosures. The natural, organic material of the hazel rods contrasts beautifully with the rugged terrain and the men's sturdy workwear. The men in the photograph are deeply focused on their task, each one contributing to the construction process. Some are busy splitting the hazel rods with long knives, while others are fixing the rods into place, stacking them carefully to form the curves and arches of the hurdles. A pile of freshly made hurdles can be seen in the background, while a partially completed gate lies on the ground, waiting to be finished. This photograph offers a glimpse into a bygone era, where the rhythms of rural life were dictated by the changing seasons and the needs of the land. The men's dedication to their craft, and the natural beauty of the materials they worked with, create a powerful sense of connection to the past and to the natural world. The hurdles they create will provide essential infrastructure for the farming community, ensuring that the cycle of life continues in the countryside.
