This powerful image captures a moment of triumph and accomplishment as these men are likely celebrating their victory at the Petworth and District Ploughing Match held at South Farm in Tillington. The photograph exudes a sense of rural charm and nostalgia, reminding us of the importance placed on agriculture during that era. These men epitomize the hardworking spirit that defined rural communities, showcasing their skills and expertise in ploughing fields with precision. Their faces reflect pride and satisfaction, having emerged as winners from what was surely an intense competition among fellow farmers.
