EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the George Garland Collection, we are transported back to the Barham Lamb Sale during Whitsun in 1939. The scene captures a rear view of three plump lambs, their wool glistening under the sunlight, as they stand within a bustling market pen. Surrounding them are five farmers, all donning their finest hats and sturdy gaiters, exuding an air of satisfaction that suggests a successful deal has been struck. The photograph offers us a glimpse into rural life in West Sussex during the 1930s. It showcases not only the importance of livestock trading but also highlights the close-knit farming community that thrived in this picturesque region. The presence of a cattle truck further emphasizes the significance of this event as farmers gather to showcase their prized animals for sale. As we observe this snapshot frozen in time, it becomes evident that both buyers and sellers alike share an unspoken camaraderie rooted in their deep connection to agriculture. Their content expressions reveal years of experience and expertise passed down through generations. Preserved by West Sussex Record Office Ref No. Garland N18199, this print serves as a testament to our rich agricultural heritage while offering us an opportunity to reflect on simpler times when markets like these were at the heart of rural communities across Britain.
