EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from August 1948 showcases the remarkable Baker Hedge Trimmer in action. With its petrol-driven engine, this powerful machine effortlessly slices through a field hedge under the skilled guidance of an operative. The image is part of the esteemed George Garland Collection, housed at the West Sussex Record Office. Transporting us back to a bygone era, this snapshot offers a fascinating glimpse into agricultural practices of the 1940s. The intricate details of this vintage farm machinery are truly mesmerizing - from its sturdy clipper to its chain and belt drives that enable seamless operation. The photograph exudes a sense of nostalgia as it captures both the ingenuity and hard work required in maintaining vast fields and hedges during that time period. It serves as a testament to human determination and innovation in overcoming nature's challenges. While we admire this extraordinary piece of equipment, it is important to note that commercial use should not be associated with it. Instead, let us appreciate the historical significance behind this image - one that sheds light on our agricultural heritage and pays homage to those who dedicated their lives to shaping our rural landscapes.
