EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from October 1939, we are transported back in time to a serene lane at Woolbeding. The image showcases a heartwarming scene of a man and a young boy sitting atop two harnessed horses, gently guiding them along the path. It is evident that these magnificent creatures are being led either to or from their day's work. The George Garland Collection has once again provided us with an extraordinary glimpse into the past through this remarkable photograph. Preserved by the West Sussex Record Office under Ref. No. Garland N18849, it serves as a testament to our rich rural heritage. The schoolboy, sporting his cap with pride, exudes an air of innocence and curiosity as he accompanies the man on this rustic journey. Their presence amidst the idyllic countryside evokes feelings of tranquility and simplicity that were characteristic of life in the 1930s. This image transports us to a time when agriculture played an integral role in shaping communities across West Sussex County Council's jurisdiction. It reminds us of the deep connection between humans and animals during that era - where horses were not merely modes of transportation but loyal companions who aided farmers in their daily tasks. Let us cherish this beautiful snapshot from history for its nostalgic charm and appreciate how it encapsulates both our agricultural roots and the timeless bond between man and beast.
