[QUOTE="Red Fred, post: 2918828, member: 189"] Grandad ran away to Canada in 1905 and took a job ploughing with mules- Nick and Bright and Buck and Barney as he used to tell us. He said that a good day's work was to plough once up in the forenoon and once back in the afternoon. Round here, there were several horrid accidents with working horses and more can be found in the old newspaper archive online. A Land girl was killed in 1917 when she was knocked over by the horse she was leading and the cart's wheel went over her head. Another horse went into a wet patch known as "The bottomless bog" and they couldn't get it out so they shot it and buried it where it stood. I always think about it when I'm mowing that bit as it was later drained and is just a damp depression now. [/QUOTE]
