EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the picturesque countryside of West Sussex in February 1957. The scene depicts a moment frozen in time at Crawford Farm, Balls Cross, where three mighty Moling tractors are diligently ploughing the fertile earth for barley cultivation. The image exudes an air of nostalgia as it showcases the age-old tradition of farming, reminding us of simpler times when agriculture was deeply intertwined with rural life. The composition is framed beautifully, capturing the vastness of the open field against a backdrop of rolling hills. One cannot help but be mesmerized by the sheer scale and power of these farm machinery marvels as they effortlessly cut through the soil, leaving behind neat furrows ready for sowing. This photograph from George Garland's collection evokes a sense of admiration for our ancestors' hard work and dedication to their craft. It serves as a reminder that despite technological advancements in modern agriculture, there is still something enchanting about witnessing traditional methods firsthand. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from West Sussex Record Office's archives, we are transported to an era where nature's rhythm dictated daily life on farms like Crawford Farm. It allows us to appreciate not only the beauty and tranquility found within our countryside but also pays homage to those who have shaped it throughout history.
