EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in the agricultural history of West Sussex. In September 1938, the "Kenters" - Kent sheep - were being driven to Ebernoe for their winter feed from the lush Kent Marshes. The image showcases a stock drive like no other, as these men and their loyal pack of shepherds guide a magnificent flock through Wassell Mill towards their destination. The photograph not only highlights the beauty of this pastoral scene but also serves as a poignant reminder of those who dedicated their lives to farming and livestock. It is worth noting that the very men seen driving these sheep are now laid to rest in Ebernoe Churchyard, forever connected to this land they cared for so deeply. Preserved within the George Garland Collection at West Sussex Record Office, this remarkable snapshot offers us a glimpse into an era where farm animals played an integral role in sustaining communities. The unity between man and beast is evident here as shepherd and flock move harmoniously together towards their shared goal. As we admire this historical gem, let us reflect on the tireless efforts made by generations past in ensuring our food security and rural traditions endure. This photograph stands as a testament to their unwavering commitment and reminds us of our responsibility to cherish both our heritage and natural resources for future generations.
