EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to a simpler time, capturing the essence of rural life in Hillgrove, Sussex during November 1933. The image is part of the George Garland Collection housed at the West Sussex Record Office. In this nostalgic scene, a group of hardworking men can be seen laboring in a picturesque countryside setting. They are engaged in the age-old tradition of cider making, an important seasonal activity that brought communities together. Surrounding them are barrels, sacks filled with apples, and a rustic shed where their laborious efforts take place. The elderly workers demonstrate their dedication as they toil away under autumn's golden canopy. With weathered hands and determined expressions on their faces, they expertly operate the cider press while others transport crates of freshly picked apples using wheelbarrows. This photograph not only captures a moment frozen in time but also serves as a reminder of our agricultural heritage. It transports us to an era when manual labor was essential for sustenance and community spirit thrived amidst shared tasks. As we gaze upon this remarkable snapshot from history, we cannot help but feel connected to these men who worked tirelessly to produce one of England's most beloved beverages. Their commitment and skill echo through generations as we appreciate the rich tapestry woven by those who came before us.
