EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the rural charm of Stag Park Farm in Petworth, on a crisp winter day in 1950. The scene captures a timeless agricultural tradition as workers diligently clear up the stack-yard. In the foreground, a magnificent horse-drawn cart stands proudly, ready to be loaded with an abundance of hay or straw within the stack-yard enclosure. The image exudes authenticity and simplicity, showcasing the symbiotic relationship between man and beast that was once integral to farming practices. The meticulous arrangement of haystacks against the backdrop of a thatched barn creates a picturesque tableau that transports us to another era. Photographer George Garland skillfully captures this moment in time, preserving it for generations to come. His keen eye for detail allows us to appreciate not only the physical labor involved but also the beauty found within everyday tasks. Stored within West Sussex Record Office's George Garland Collection, this photograph is more than just an archival piece; it serves as a window into our rich agricultural heritage. It reminds us of simpler times when hard work and nature were intertwined harmoniously. As we gaze upon this evocative image, we are reminded of how much has changed since then while appreciating how certain traditions continue to shape our present-day farming practices.
