EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the bustling Sussex County Show at Horsham on a sunny day, June 20th, 1928. The focal point of this snapshot is undoubtedly the Southdown sheep being meticulously judged by experienced farmers. Their expertise and dedication to their craft are evident as they carefully assess each animal's qualities. The image beautifully captures the essence of agriculture and rural life during that era. The sheep stand proudly, showcasing their well-groomed coats while exuding an air of tranquility amidst the lively atmosphere surrounding them. This scene serves as a testament to the importance placed on livestock breeding and farming practices in Sussex County. Photographed by George Garland, this piece belongs to his esteemed collection housed at West Sussex Record Office. It offers a glimpse into a world where agricultural shows were not only events for farmers but also opportunities for communities to come together and celebrate their shared passion for farming. As we admire this historical photograph, we can't help but appreciate how it encapsulates both tradition and progress within the agricultural industry. It reminds us of our roots while highlighting the advancements made over time. This print from West Sussex County Council allows us to immerse ourselves in an era when these shows were pivotal moments for farmers – occasions where hard work was recognized, knowledge was exchanged, and camaraderie flourished among those who dedicated themselves to shaping our countryside's landscape through agriculture.
