This photo print, titled "Mangold pulling at Barlavington, October 1939" transports us back to a simpler time in rural West Sussex. The image captures the essence of autumn as a farmer diligently tends to his land with the help of his trusty tractor and trailer. The picturesque countryside serves as an idyllic backdrop for this scene, showcasing rolling fields that stretch out into the distance. Amidst this serene setting, two young girls can be seen observing the farmer's work with curiosity and awe. Their presence adds a touch of innocence and wonder to the photograph, reminding us of the timeless connection between generations who have worked these lands for centuries. The focus of this snapshot is undoubtedly on Mangold pulling - a traditional farming practice where root crops are harvested from the earth using specialized machinery. This particular moment frozen in time offers a glimpse into agricultural techniques prevalent during the 1930s. Preserved within West Sussex Record Office's George Garland Collection, this historical gem provides valuable insights into our rich farming heritage.
