Description: | Farmers with a horse-drawn reaping machine. Everyone appeared to help with the harvest in the days when farming was more labour intensive than today. The gentleman on the right appears to be in charge of the refreshment of the workers. Note the two female workers stacking the cut crops. The gentleman second from the right appears to be holding a rifle - probably to deal with birds or other animals that escaped as the crops were being cut. This image helps to show how rural this part of Wednesfield was before the building of the modern housing estate in the 1950s. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/uk/ | Publisher: | Wolverhampton Archives | Rights holder: | Jim Evans | Subjects: | Farmhouses Agricultural development Photograph Photographs Farming | Temporal: | c 1910 | Source: | Black Country History | Identifier: | http://www.blackcountryhistory.org/colle... | Go to resource |
