EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the nostalgic era of 1931 at the Findon Sheep Fair. The image beautifully captures a moment frozen in time, showcasing a shepherd perched gracefully on a rustic fence. His weathered face tells tales of hard work and dedication as he oversees the bustling activity below. The scene is filled with an air of anticipation as buyers and sellers gather around pens filled with fluffy sheep. The aroma of fresh hay lingers in the air, mingling with whispers of negotiations and friendly banter. The shepherd's traditional smock stands out against the backdrop of rolling countryside, symbolizing his deep connection to rural life. With his trusty crook by his side, this shepherd exudes wisdom and experience gained from years spent tending to these gentle creatures. His jodhpurs serve as a reminder that even amidst such laborious tasks, style can still find its place in everyday life. The wattle fence behind him adds authenticity to this snapshot from history, reminding us that simplicity often holds great beauty. This remarkable photograph from West Sussex County Council's George Garland Collection transports us back to an era where hard work was celebrated and community thrived through shared experiences like the Findon Sheep Fair
