EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in this vintage print from October 1927, we witness a heartwarming moment of recognition and celebration at an agricultural show. The event, possibly connected with the renowned Petworth and District Ploughing Matches held at South Farm in Tillington, showcases the deep-rooted farming traditions of West Sussex. The image portrays a group of distinguished men, proudly identified as farmers and old-timers within their community. Their weathered faces bear testament to years spent toiling on the land, nurturing crops, and tending livestock. Dressed in traditional attire that speaks volumes about their dedication to their craft, these men exude a sense of pride and accomplishment. As they gather together for the prize-giving ceremony, one can almost feel the anticipation building in the air. The atmosphere is charged with excitement as each farmer eagerly awaits his turn to be recognized for his hard work and expertise. A shared camaraderie binds them all – a bond forged through countless seasons spent side by side on farms across West Sussex. Preserved within the George Garland Collection at West Sussex Record Office Ref No: Garland N534B, this photograph serves as a poignant reminder of our agricultural heritage. It offers us a glimpse into an era when farming was not just an occupation but also a way of life deeply ingrained in local communities. This print holds immense historical value; it captures not only individual achievements but also represents collective resilience and determination that have shaped generations of farmers throughout West Sussex.
