EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Barnham East Lamb Sale - March 1939" offers a glimpse into the bustling rural market of yesteryears. Despite the rain pouring down from the gloomy sky, this snapshot beautifully captures the essence of a typical lamb sale in Barnham during the 1930s. The image showcases a vast pen filled with sheep, their woolly coats glistening under the raindrops. Amidst this lively scene, a few buyers and sellers can be seen braving the elements as they navigate through the muddy terrain. Their presence adds an element of human interaction to an otherwise animal-dominated setting. Each person's face tells its own story – some displaying determination while others wear expressions of contemplation or negotiation. The George Garland Collection has preserved this historical gem, allowing us to travel back in time and witness firsthand how these markets operated nearly a century ago. This particular photograph is part of West Sussex Record Office's extensive collection (Ref No. Garland N17949), which serves as an invaluable resource for those interested in exploring our county's rich agricultural heritage. As we gaze upon this evocative image, it reminds us that despite adverse weather conditions or challenging circumstances, life carried on in these rural communities with unwavering resilience and dedication to their trade.
