1930s Country Farm Rural Tanner Holly Yard
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from November 1932, we are transported back in time to the rural charm of Upperton, Petworth in West Sussex. The image showcases a distinguished gentleman amidst the idyllic setting of a farmyard. His presence exudes an air of quiet confidence and timeless elegance. Surrounded by the picturesque countryside, this gentleman stands tall with his hands resting comfortably on his hips. His attire suggests that he is a man of importance within the farming community - perhaps a landowner or a skilled tanner. The holly leaves adorning his hat hint at the festive season approaching, adding a touch of seasonal cheer to the scene. The authenticity captured in this photograph is truly remarkable; it serves as both a visual record and an emotional connection to life in rural England during the 1930s. Every detail tells its own story - from the weathered wooden buildings behind him to the well-worn pathways beneath his feet. Preserved within West Sussex Record Office's George Garland Collection, this image provides us with an invaluable glimpse into our agricultural heritage. It reminds us of simpler times when hard work was rewarded with bountiful harvests and close-knit communities thrived amidst nature's beauty. As we admire this snapshot frozen in time, let us appreciate not only its historical significance but also its ability to transport us back to an era where life revolved around nature's rhythms and genuine connections were forged through shared experiences on these very farms and yards across West Sussex County Council's
