Farming Life – 1920’s

The attached set of photographs have been supplied Ivan Bateman and show farming life in about 1920. The man ploughing with the standard Fordson is Alfred Bateman (my grandfather) and the field is in Fulney Lane. The four pictures of men building corn stacks and with the horse and trolley were taken in the stackyard behind Fulney House, when it was owned by Mr G.W. Chatterton. The photo of the ladies in their traditional Lincolnshire bonnets and carrying sickles also dates from this period, the exact location is unknown but is probably in the Fulney area.
