EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of agricultural training at Mayford School in Woking, Surrey, circa 1930. The large open field, dotted with golden crops, serves as the backdrop for a group of dedicated boys, each engrossed in their respective tasks. The image showcases the hard work and determination required to cultivate the land, with one boy wielding a fork to turn over the soil, another raking up the harvested crops, and a third tending to the plough, guided by a horse and a man. The scene at Mayford School was not just about farming, but also about providing welfare, social care, and essential services to its students. Agricultural training was an integral part of the curriculum, designed to equip young boys with practical skills that would serve them well in life. It was a time of learning, growth, and community, where the value of teamwork and perseverance was instilled in each student. The horses, an essential component of farm life, were an integral part of the training program. Their strength and agility were harnessed to plough the fields, till the soil, and sow the seeds, thereby passing on the age-old tradition of working in harmony with nature. The boys, under the watchful eyes of their mentors, learned to work in tandem with these magnificent animals, fostering a deep respect and appreciation for the natural world. This photograph is a poignant reminder of a bygone era, where the simple pleasures of rural life, the joy of working the land, and the camaraderie of community were cherished experiences for young boys at Mayford School in Woking, Surrey.
