Victorian hand tool?

[Walton2]

This photo was sent to me recently.The tool was used on Victorian farm and has been unused and on a garage wall for 90 years! Any ideas as to what it was used for?

Do you mean it was used on the tv programme Victorian Farm?

If so, maybe find the series on demand and have a look?

Looks like it has been cobbled up to do a job and not built specifically for that job

I thought that as well...possibly walking behind a drill or even a plough / cultivator and using that to clear blockages?
I was hoping to report back to them that it was slightly more technical though!

Proper Victorian tools were very well designed and made, to the point of being ornate works of art.
No disrespect but that doesn't fit the above, it looks more like something Great Uncle Stanley made to clear the weeds from between the cobbles.

It looks very bespoke, and for that reason, I don't think you will ever find out what it was for.

A one off custom tool, as Baldrick says made for a particular job. I sometimes find tools I have made (bodged up) from years ago, b*****ed if I can remember what I used them for.

Is it an axe for chipping off bits of something, maybe? Looks like a chisel bound to a shock absorbing rod with a handle that’s comfortable to hold and swing.
