EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Pulborough market in September 1934, under a new beef scheme. The image is part of the esteemed George Garland Collection, housed at the West Sussex Record Office. Stepping back in time, we are transported to a rural countryside scene bustling with activity. The focal point of the photograph is undoubtedly the auction taking place in the foreground. A dapper auctioneer stands tall, donning a trilby hat and commanding attention from an attentive crowd of farmers dressed in their finest suits. Cattle are lined up nearby, awaiting their turn to be sold. The setting exudes an unmistakable charm that can only be found in small-town markets during this era. An old car parked on one side adds a touch of nostalgia while a horse box sits patiently nearby, ready for transportation after successful bids have been made. Pulborough market was clearly an important hub for local farmers to trade their livestock and secure deals that would sustain their livelihoods. This snapshot provides us with a glimpse into not just an event but also into the lives and traditions of these hardworking individuals who relied on such gatherings to support themselves and their families. Preserved through time by West Sussex County Council's dedication to preserving historical records, this print serves as both a visual testament to our agricultural heritage and as a reminder of how communities came together for economic prosperity even during challenging times like those faced in the 1930s.
