EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of a bygone era in rural England, as a horse-drawn reaper is used to turn hay near Reigate, Surrey, during the 1950s. The scene is idyllic, with the rolling hills of Surrey providing a picturesque backdrop to the simple yet effective farming method. The horse, harnessed and focused on the task at hand, pulls the reaper through the golden fields, its hooves kicking up clouds of dust as it goes. The farmer, dressed in traditional farming attire, stands at the back of the reaper, expertly guiding it as it cuts through the hay. The hay, freshly cut and still warm from the sun, is spread out in neat rows, waiting to be turned and allowed to dry in the sun. The process of turning the hay, or "making," was an essential part of the haymaking process, as it allowed the hay to be turned over to ensure it was evenly dried and free from moisture. The use of horse-drawn machinery was a common sight in rural England up until the 1960s, when the introduction of more modern machinery began to replace it. This photograph is a reminder of a time when farming was a more labour-intensive and seasonal activity, with farmers relying on the natural rhythms of the land and the power of horses to bring in the harvest. The historical significance of this photograph lies not only in its depiction of a traditional farming method, but also in the way it captures the spirit of rural life in post-war Britain. The image is a testament to the resilience and resourcefulness of farmers and their communities, who worked together to keep the countryside thriving despite the challenges they faced.
