Old farming photos.

[Hawkes]

Following on from the "Mud Sweat and tractors" thread there must be a great resource of old farming films and photographs here on TFF, I have some 8mm films from the 50's and 60's on the home farm at Drayton, plus box of old photos going back to the 20's. Our old yard is now under houses.

I can offer a couple to kick it off. My father on a D2 pulling a trailed combine, plenty of straw! I think in the early 40's. Plus our Kennedy and Kemp grain drier being installed.
