The image showcases agricultural workers and their families, who were fortunate enough to attend during a special week when admittance was reduced to one shilling (5p), instead of the usual five shillings (25p). In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness hardworking individuals from various trades coming together to marvel at an array of innovative farming materials and machinery on display.
