EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from November 1933, we are transported back in time to witness the age-old tradition of cider making at Hillgrove, Sussex. The image showcases two hardworking men immersed in their craft, surrounded by a picturesque rural landscape that epitomizes the charm of the English countryside. The scene unfolds in a quaint farm setting, where a rustic wooden shed stands proudly amidst rolling fields. Inside the shed, barrels and beer bottles line the shelves, serving as testaments to years of dedication and expertise passed down through generations. A large sack filled with freshly picked apples rests against an old-fashioned machine nearby, ready to be transformed into golden nectar. With focused determination etched on their faces, one man carefully loads apples into a bucket while his companion operates an impressive press. This laborious process requires strength and precision as they extract every ounce of juice from the fruit before it is poured into waiting barrels for fermentation. This snapshot captures not only the physical work involved but also conveys a sense of pride and connection to nature's bounty. It serves as a reminder that even amidst technological advancements, some traditions remain steadfastly rooted in simplicity and craftsmanship. Preserved within West Sussex Record Office's George Garland Collection, this evocative photograph offers us a glimpse into our agricultural heritage – reminding us of how communities once relied on local farms for sustenance and celebration alike.
