EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to a significant moment in history - July 1942, inside the Harwoods Factory in Pulborough. The image offers a rare glimpse into the heart of wartime production, showcasing the bustling machinery and dedicated labor that fueled Britain's war effort. As we peer into this internal view of the factory, we are immediately struck by the sheer scale and complexity of the machinery surrounding workers clad in protective overalls. The machine shop is alive with activity as men and women diligently operate various tools, their faces etched with determination. This snapshot encapsulates both the physicality and intensity required to meet wartime demands. The George Garland Collection has preserved this invaluable piece of West Sussex's heritage, allowing us to reflect on an era defined by sacrifice and resilience. It serves as a poignant reminder of how ordinary individuals played an extraordinary role during times of crisis. While it remains unclear what specific products were being manufactured within these walls or for whom they were destined, one thing is certain - every cog turned here contributed towards safeguarding our nation's freedom. Thanks to West Sussex County Council's commitment to preserving historical records like this photograph (Ref. No. Garland N21659), future generations can appreciate the unwavering dedication exhibited by those who worked tirelessly behind closed doors at Harwoods Factory during World War II.
