EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the George Garland Collection, we are transported back to a significant moment in history - the drainage demonstration at Limbo Farm Petworth on 16th March 1945. Against the backdrop of World War II, a group of individuals can be seen gathered around a meticulously constructed drainage ditch, attentively observing its impact on agricultural practices. The Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries crane looms in the background, symbolizing both governmental support and technological advancement during this tumultuous era. The image not only showcases the importance of efficient drainage systems for farming but also provides us with a glimpse into life during the 1940s. The attire worn by those present reflects their dedication to their work - sturdy clothing that could withstand long hours spent tending to crops and livestock. Preserved within West Sussex Record Office's archives, this photograph serves as an invaluable historical document. It encapsulates how even amidst war and uncertainty, farmers were determined to improve techniques and enhance productivity in order to sustain their communities. As we delve into this remarkable visual narrative, it is important to appreciate its significance beyond commercial use. Instead, let us recognize it as an enduring testament to resilience, innovation, and unity within West Sussex County Council's rich agricultural heritage.
