EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Cutting Clover at Fittleworth - about 1940" offers a nostalgic glimpse into the world of agriculture during a bygone era. The image showcases a horse-drawn machine with its skilled driver aboard, meticulously taking a cut off the first crop of clover. Set against the picturesque backdrop of Fittleworth in West Sussex, this snapshot encapsulates the essence of rural life and harvest traditions that were once an integral part of farming communities. The idyllic scene exudes tranquility as nature's bounty is carefully harvested to sustain both man and beast. The timeless charm emanating from this photograph transports us back to simpler times when horses powered our agricultural endeavors. It serves as a poignant reminder of the hard work, dedication, and deep-rooted connection between humans and their land. Preserved within the Garland Collection at West Sussex Record Office, this historical gem allows us to appreciate how far we have come in terms of technological advancements in farming practices. Yet it also encourages us to reflect on what might have been lost along the way – perhaps some intangible bond between man, animal, and earth. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from yesteryears' farm life, let us honor those who came before us by cherishing our agricultural heritage while embracing progress for a sustainable future.
