EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of rural life in the parish of New Moat, Pembrokeshire, South Wales during the early 1920s. The scene depicts a group of hardworking individuals engaged in the labor-intensive process of threshing, a crucial step in the harvesting of crops. The threshing machine, a large, cumbersome contraption, stands at the center of the image, its metal arms poised to separate the grain from the stalks and husks. Despite the emergence of tractors and mechanized farming equipment during this era, the community in New Moat continued to rely on traditional methods for their agricultural work. The men in the photograph can be seen working in unison, each with a specific role in the threshing process. One man climbs a ladder to feed the grain into the machine, while another shovels the threshed grain into sacks. The women and children assist by sorting and separating the grain from the chaff. The conditions under which they work are simple yet effective, with the threshing machine powered by a horse or traction engine. The scene is reminiscent of a bygone era, where the rhythms of nature and the collective efforts of the community were the driving forces behind the harvest. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the rich agricultural history and the resilient spirit of the people of Pembrokeshire.
