This photograph, titled "Hurdle Making, April 1925" transports us back to a simpler time in rural West Sussex. The image showcases the skill and craftsmanship of a hurdle maker at Up Waltham, captured by the talented photographer George Garland. In this snapshot of history, we witness an artisan deeply engrossed in his work. With nimble hands and focused eyes, he weaves together slender hazel branches with precision and expertise. Each hurdle meticulously crafted represents not only manual labor but also generations of traditional farming practices. The scene exudes a sense of tranquility as the craftsman works amidst nature's backdrop. Surrounded by lush greenery and blossoming flowers, this idyllic countryside setting serves as a reminder of the deep connection between man and land. "Hurdle Making" is more than just an image; it encapsulates the essence of rural life during that era – hard work, dedication to one's craft, and respect for nature's resources. It symbolizes a way of life that has been passed down through generations while highlighting the importance of preserving these age-old traditions. Preserved within the Garland Collection at West Sussex Record Office Ref No: Garland N489, this print offers us a glimpse into our agricultural heritage.
