EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from June 1938 takes us back in time to the Shaxson Dairies in Elstead. The image showcases a remarkable sight - cows at an automated milking stall, a true testament to the advancement of technology during that era. The scene is filled with an air of efficiency and innovation as we witness the integration of machinery into the traditional process of milk production. The mechanized setup allows for a streamlined production line, ensuring maximum output while minimizing human labor. It's fascinating to see how these pioneering dairy farmers embraced automation even before it became commonplace. The cows themselves appear calm and content, seemingly accustomed to this novel contraption designed specifically for their comfort. As they stand patiently side by side, waiting their turn, one can't help but marvel at the harmonious relationship between man and animal in this industrial setting. Preserved within the George Garland Collection at West Sussex Record Office, this photograph serves as a valuable historical document capturing a significant moment in agricultural history. It offers us a glimpse into an era when technological advancements were revolutionizing various industries, including cattle farming. Let this image transport you back to 1938 as you immerse yourself in the world of mechanized milk production - where machinery meets bovine grace on an automated journey towards providing nourishment for countless households across West Sussex County Council's jurisdiction.
