EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the picturesque village of Amberley in December 1948. The scene depicts a herdsman diligently guiding a group of cows through the narrow lanes, with a man following closely behind, pushing a handcart. As they make their way through the village, we are greeted by the charming sight of thatched timber and flint cottages on the right side of the frame. The image beautifully captures an era when agriculture and farming were at the heart of rural communities. It offers us a glimpse into daily life during this period, where livestock played an essential role in sustaining livelihoods. The presence of cattle symbolizes not only their economic significance but also serves as a reminder of how intimately intertwined humans were with nature. Amberley's serene ambiance is further enhanced by its idyllic setting - untouched by modern developments or bustling city life. This snapshot transports us to simpler times, evoking feelings of nostalgia for those who long for days gone by. Preserved within West Sussex Record Office's esteemed George Garland Collection, this photograph stands as an invaluable historical artifact capturing both cultural heritage and agricultural practices from mid-20th century England. Its existence allows us to appreciate our past while reflecting on how far we have come since then - reminding us that progress should always be balanced with preserving our roots.
