Water-cress time at Cassiobridge. Now is the time of year when watercress is at its best. There is work all the year round in the beds from which the harvest is now being gathered and although it is sold at only a penny a bunch, many farmers would exchange every acre of plough land for a a small chain of good watercress beds.

EDITORS COMMENTS
Water-cress time at Cassiobridge captures the essence of a thriving agricultural community in Hertfordshire during April 1928. In this enchanting photograph by Bernard Alfieri, we witness the culmination of year-round hard work as women joyfully pick bundles of fresh watercress from the beds. As spring breathes new life into nature, watercress flourishes and reaches its peak flavor. Despite being sold for just a penny per bunch, these dedicated farmers would gladly trade their ploughed acres for a small chain of well-maintained watercress beds. Such is the value they place on this humble crop. Cassiobridge, nestled in Watford's picturesque landscape, becomes an idyllic backdrop to this bustling scene. The women's smiles reflect not only their satisfaction with a bountiful harvest but also their deep connection to the land and its offerings. This print transports us back to an era when agriculture was both labor-intensive and rewarding. It serves as a reminder that amidst modern advancements, there is beauty in simplicity and fulfillment in cultivating nature's gifts. Bernard Alfieri skillfully immortalizes this moment in history through his lens, capturing not only the physical act of picking watercress but also the spirit of unity and contentment shared among these hardworking individuals.
