EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by the talented George Garland on 12 October 1936, transports us back in time to the bustling Pulborough Market in West Sussex. The focal point of this image is a distinguished policeman, standing tall amidst the vibrant chaos of livestock sale day. His presence exudes authority and reassurance as he oversees the proceedings with a watchful eye. Surrounded by eager buyers and sellers, this snapshot captures a moment when trade was at its peak. In the background, we catch glimpses of an inviting public house and hotel that undoubtedly provided respite for weary market-goers after a long day's work. These establishments were likely filled with stories of successful transactions or missed opportunities over pints of ale. The sheep being herded through the market serve as a reminder of West Sussex's rich agricultural heritage. Livestock sales were integral to rural communities like Pulborough, providing livelihoods for farmers and nourishment for local families. Preserved within the Garland Collection at West Sussex Record Office, this evocative print offers us a glimpse into an era where commerce thrived amidst camaraderie and hard work. It serves as both an homage to our past and a testament to those who dedicated their lives to keeping order in our communities
