Books
Walking through the countryside before the end of the Second World War, one could hardly fail to see people working in the fields, often with horses. But huge changes were around the corner and a way of country life that had lasted centuries faded away. LUckily, the camera had come into popular use buy the 1860s and this book contains many photographs of rural workers. Village blacksmiths, ploughmen, hop-pickers, tramps, rat-catchers, working children, game-keepers and many others - they are all celebrated and explained here by Frances Mountford's illustrations, anecdotes and photographs.
