EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from August 1943, we are transported back in time to witness the diligent work of a grain dryer at Warnham & Eartham. The image showcases an operative attentively inspecting one of two sacks being filled with grains from a hopper located within the rustic confines of a timber barn. As beams and rafters frame the scene, their weathered appearance tells tales of years spent sheltering bountiful harvests. The atmosphere inside the barn is undoubtedly hot, as evidenced by the perspiration glistening on the operative's brow. Dressed in a practical vest that allows for freedom of movement, he diligently ensures that each sack is filled to its maximum capacity before tying it off with one of many strings hanging from a big bundle nearby. This remarkable photograph belongs to the George Garland Collection and can be found at West Sussex Record Office under reference number Garland N22484. It offers us a glimpse into an era when agriculture was still heavily reliant on manual labor and traditional methods. As we admire this snapshot frozen in time, let us appreciate not only the hard work and dedication displayed by these individuals but also recognize how far farming practices have come since then. This image serves as a poignant reminder of our agricultural heritage and encourages us to reflect upon our progress while honoring those who paved the way for modern farming techniques.
