They make the feathers fly. Pauline Wills, aged 20, of Tunbridge Wells helps bailiff's wife Mrs. Gladys Banks, at Home Farm, Whiligh Estate, East Sussex, to prepare the Christmas geese. Feathers are flying; somebody's goose is going to be cooked! Cottages in the background have been converted from a chapel used for generations by the Courthope family for morning services for their farm staffs. December 1951. In this print from Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back to a time when Christmas preparations were truly hands-on and filled with tradition. The image captures young Pauline Wills assisting Mrs. Gladys Banks in plucking feathers off freshly slaughtered geese at Home Farm on Whiligh Estate. The scene is bustling with activity as feathers float through the air like ethereal snowflakes while these dedicated women work diligently to ensure that every detail of their festive feast is perfect. The anticipation of a delicious meal hangs in the air as they skillfully prepare each bird. Beyond the flurry of feathers lies a cluster of charming cottages that were once part of a cherished chapel where generations of farm staff gathered for morning services led by the Courthope family. This nostalgic snapshot encapsulates not only an era but also highlights how food brought communities together during special occasions like Christmas. It serves as a reminder that traditions rooted in love and dedication can withstand the test of time.
