Just for Fun No C&C will be given: Forgotten Sights

I've just been looking through a box of old photos, and came across these two, taken in the early 1920s probably with a Box Brownie. Scanning them as colour photos gave them an interesting tint.

Seed drill. My father is leading the horses.




Shocking oats. In some parts of the country the pile of sheaves, leaning against each other to dry, was called a stook. In Cambridgeshire it was called a shock.
On the left is my father; in the middle is the farmer, Perce Fleet who adopted my father; and on the right is my grandmother's brother Elijah Wells.

Outstanding! It's so worthwhile looking through older collections! What a treasure and I'm sure there are more. I hope you will continue with this and perhaps you can make this a special dedication to rediscovered photographic treasures from film.

Budweier could have used these majestic horses! With all the grooming, their own photogenic Clydesdales don't out class these working horses in this 1920's picture.

Wonderful. Reminds me of when I was just a little kid on the farm. They used to put me on the horses back coming in from the field. The horses were so big that my legs would be as far as they could go. Great memories.
