Yesterday’s Farm – East Anglia and beyond. DVD approx 65 minutes (New Classics). Now available online from Old Pond at £10.95.
This is proving to be one of the most popular items in Old Pond's summer catalogue.
Archive footage drawn from ‘ITN Source’ reflects work in farming from the First World War to the 1960s. Farmers lived through half a century of debts, economic slump and two world wars during which agriculture changed for ever.
The DVD includes early machinery, the Women’s Land Army and memories from farm workers. The producers say that it reflects the experience of Suffolk, Norfolk, Essex, Cambs, Beds and Herts.
