This print takes us back to the idyllic countryside of Robertsbridge in August 1938. The image showcases a crucial yet often overlooked aspect of farming life - sheep dipping. As we gaze upon the scene, we are transported to a time when rural work was carried out with dedication and care. In this snapshot, we witness a group of hardworking farmers tending to their flock, ensuring their well-being by protecting them from pests and diseases. Sheep stand patiently in holding pens, awaiting their turn to enter the dip – an essential process that would cleanse and safeguard them against harmful insects and fungi. The photograph captures not only the practicality but also the harmony between humans and animals. It reminds us of the symbiotic relationship forged on these farms, where every effort is made to provide clean surroundings for livestock. As we delve into history through this George Garland Collection piece housed at West Sussex Record Office, it becomes evident that such meticulous attention given to animal welfare has been ingrained in our agricultural practices for generations.
