Fieldwork - Farming Memories from the 20th Century
Stories of the ups and downs of 20th century farming life in Herefordshire, told by those who lived through them
Sat 4 April 4.30pm - The Courtyard Hereford
Tickets £3
When farm worker Ron Langford wanted a job, he simply went to the hiring fair at Hay. To keep his feet dry, Edgar Langford rubbed mutton fat into his boots. And when a Bromyard farrier lost his hand in a chaff cutter, his wife drove him to hospital by pony and trap, his wrist wrapped in cobwebs. A series of two-minute digital stories about life in days gone by, this is a Rural Media Company project in partnership with Bromyard and Eardisley Local History Societies and Herefordshire Council Museum and Archive Services.
"What a joy! These are wonderful, engaging stories from rural Herefordshire..."
