EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the George Garland Collection takes us back to a simpler time in West Sussex's countryside. Dated 1st April 1951, it showcases an essential farming activity - drilling at Graffham. The focal point of the image is a sturdy tractor, equipped with a drilling attachment, expertly operated by two diligent farm hands. Covered in mud and surrounded by the idyllic rural landscape, they epitomize hard work and dedication. The scene unfolds against the backdrop of rolling downs and quaint farm buildings that dot the horizon. A solitary telegraph pole stands tall as a silent witness to this timeless agricultural endeavor. Every detail within this photograph transports us to an era where manual labor was paramount for cultivating fertile fields. The old machine used for drilling serves as a testament to ingenuity and resourcefulness during those times. It symbolizes how farmers relied on their skills and machinery to sow seeds of progress across these vast lands. It's important to note that this print is part of West Sussex Record Office's extensive collection, preserving our rich heritage for generations to come. While we cannot ascertain its commercial use or affiliation with any specific company, what remains undeniable is its ability to evoke nostalgia and appreciation for our agrarian roots. In essence, this remarkable snapshot encapsulates both the beauty of nature's bounty and humanity's unwavering commitment towards nurturing it – forever etched in history through George Garland's lens.
