EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from 1906, we are transported to the idyllic countryside of Angmering, Sussex. The image showcases a timeless tradition - the washing of Southdown sheep in the decoy stream. A renowned Southdown breeder is captured amidst this picturesque scene, his expertise evident as he tends to his prized flock. The atmosphere is palpably wet and rural, with lush greenery framing the setting. Fencing surrounds the area, ensuring that these valuable animals remain safe during their cleansing ritual. Shepherds skillfully guide each sheep towards the stream using long poles and navigate them through hurdles strategically placed along their path. This snapshot offers a glimpse into an era where hard work was intertwined with nature's rhythms. The shepherds' dedication to maintaining cleanliness for their livestock exemplifies their commitment to animal welfare and quality breeding practices. Preserved within West Sussex Record Office's George Garland Collection, this photograph serves as a testament to our agricultural heritage. It reminds us of simpler times when manual labor was integral to sustaining rural communities. As we admire this historical gem, let us appreciate not only its aesthetic appeal but also recognize its significance in documenting our shared past. This image stands as a tribute to those who have dedicated themselves to preserving traditions and nurturing our connection with nature throughout generations gone by.
