EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Sheep Washing - 1947" takes us back to a simpler time in rural West Sussex. The image captures an age-old tradition of sheep washing, where each woolly creature is meticulously cleansed one at a time within the confines of a fenced-off section of a serene lake. The scene is beautifully framed by the presence of a majestic tree standing tall in the foreground, its branches reaching out as if offering shade and solace to both man and beast alike. This timeless snapshot from the George Garland Collection, preserved by the West Sussex Record Office under Ref. No. Garland N28262, transports us to an era when farming practices were intimately connected with nature. In this idyllic countryside setting, we witness hardworking farmers tending to their livestock with care and dedication. The photograph evokes nostalgia for an era long gone but not forgotten – a testament to our agricultural heritage. With its vintage charm and rustic appeal, this remarkable piece encapsulates the essence of farm life during the 1940s in West Sussex County Council's region. It serves as a poignant reminder that even amidst technological advancements and urbanization, there remains something deeply profound about our connection with nature's rhythms
