1940s Agriculture Farm Tractor Hide Shelter
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the tranquil countryside of West Sussex in February 1944. The image showcases a novel cart lodge, ingeniously constructed under the protective canopy of towering trees. Several farm machines find refuge beneath this rudimentary roof, their sturdy frames standing tall against the backdrop of nature's embrace. The scene exudes an air of simplicity and resourcefulness, capturing the essence of rural life during wartime. It is a testament to the resilience and ingenuity displayed by farmers as they adapted to challenging circumstances. The presence of tractors hints at the evolving agricultural practices that were revolutionizing farming methods during this era. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we can almost hear the distant hum of machinery and feel the crisp winter breeze rustling through leaves overhead. The image evokes a sense of unity between man and nature, as these hardworking individuals sought shelter for their invaluable tools amidst Mother Earth's own guardianship. Preserved within the George Garland Collection at West Sussex Record Office, this photograph serves as a poignant reminder of our shared history and heritage. It offers a glimpse into an era when innovation met tradition on farms across Britain – where determination flourished even amid adversity
