Description: | June 1960. During the 1960s the pattern of farming activities in Britain began to change considerably with more activity on intensive production, and a fall off of some field crops, especially rhubarb, around Morley. Here some new broiler houses for turkey rearing are being constructed at Cartlidges farm off Rooms Lane. Eventually there were four sheds like the one shown, each containing about 5000 turkeys. Quite a lot of corn for feeding to them was grown on the farm itself (barley). A path to the farm was tarmaced over so that a minibus could bring people to work at the farm from Morley.
