EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the George Garland Collection takes us back to a simpler time in agriculture. Dated 24 May 1947, it showcases several small metal pens housing sheep, some freshly shorn, while three impressive piles of fleece dominate the foreground. The scene is set against a backdrop of curious spectators and vintage cars, providing a glimpse into the past. The image exudes an air of tranquility as these gentle creatures peacefully coexist with their human caretakers. It serves as a testament to the vital role that livestock played on farms during this era. Sheep were not only valued for their meat but also for their prized wool. As we observe this snapshot frozen in time, one can almost feel the softness and warmth emanating from those immense piles of fleece. The meticulous shearing process required skilled hands and was crucial to ensure quality wool production. Preserved by West Sussex County Council's Record Office, this photograph offers us a window into our agricultural heritage. It reminds us of the dedication and hard work that went into sustaining rural communities through animal husbandry practices. Let this image transport you back to an era when life revolved around tending to animals and harvesting nature's bounty – where simplicity met ingenuity on every farmstead across West Sussex.
