EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph taken in 1935, we are transported back to a simpler time on a Kentish farm. The image captures the timeless tradition of using a flail for threshing small crops of corn, an agricultural practice that has withstood the test of time. Mr T Oakey Westwood Farm proudly demonstrates the art of flailing to a group of curious children who have come to visit his picturesque farm. The scene is set against the backdrop of Westerham, Kent, where rural charm permeates every corner. The rustic barn and other farm buildings add character to the idyllic landscape, while bales of straw hint at a hard day's work behind them. It is evident that these tools and equipment have been well-used over the years, serving as a testament to generations past who relied on their strength and ingenuity. This photograph by Between The Wars encapsulates not only an era but also highlights the importance of preserving traditional farming methods. It serves as a reminder that progress should be balanced with respect for our roots and appreciation for those who came before us. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded of how agriculture has shaped our history and continues to shape our future – connecting us all through its enduring legacy.
