EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the Findon Sheep Fair in 1931, a cherished event that brought together farmers and locals from all corners of West Sussex. The image showcases a flock of sheep belonging to a proud farmer from Sompting, their woolly coats glistening under the warm sunlight. As we delve into this snapshot of rural life, we are transported to an era where farming was not just an occupation but a way of life. The scene is bustling with activity as crowds gather around the sheep pens, eagerly observing and discussing the various breeds on display. The fair was not only an opportunity for farmers to showcase their prized livestock but also served as a social gathering where knowledge and expertise were shared among enthusiasts. George Garland's expert photography perfectly captures the essence of this nostalgic moment in time. His lens skillfully frames both the animals and people alike, highlighting their connection to each other and their surroundings. This photograph is part of his esteemed collection housed at West Sussex Record Office, preserving invaluable glimpses into our agricultural heritage. As we gaze upon this remarkable image, it evokes feelings of admiration for those who worked tirelessly on these lands while igniting a sense of pride in our county's rich farming traditions. It serves as a reminder that even amidst changing times, there will always be something magical about witnessing livestock shows like these – where generations come together to celebrate our deep-rooted connection with nature and embrace the beauty found within rural landscapes.
