What's in the gallery?

This gallery contains a selection of photographs of farmhouses, farm buildings and the workforce in an agricultural environment. Over the coming months any new images will be added as new material becomes available. We must never forget today's happening is tomorrow's history, so even if you have what may be considered modern photographs please let us copy them. With the ever-increasing loss of agricultural land to housing in the near future we will have lost all agricultural land.
