EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to Slade Farm in Rogate, circa 1944. The scene depicts a group of bullocks confined within a sturdy wooden stockade, enclosed by a fence on three sides and a low barn-type building on the fourth side. This snapshot from the George Garland Collection, housed at the West Sussex Record Office, offers an intriguing glimpse into rural life during the 1940s. The image showcases the essence of agriculture and farm practices of that era. The pen is meticulously constructed with precision and care, ensuring the safety and containment of these magnificent cattle. The five-bar gate stands tall as both an entranceway for caretakers and a barrier against potential escapees. As we observe this slice of history frozen in time, we are transported to an idyllic countryside setting where livestock roamed freely under watchful eyes. The simplicity yet effectiveness of this setup reflects the resourcefulness and ingenuity prevalent among farmers during those years. This photograph serves as a reminder of our deep-rooted connection to nature's bounty while highlighting the tireless efforts undertaken by generations past to sustain their livelihoods through farming practices. It encapsulates not only agricultural traditions but also evokes feelings of nostalgia for simpler times when rural landscapes thrived with vibrant communities centered around hard work and dedication
