LIVING HISTORY... ... in the Shropshire Hills. Experience daily life on an upland farm at the turn of the century. The waggoner and his team of heavy horses work the land with vintage farm machines. Each day, in the cottage, the farmer's wife goes about her chores; cooking on the range, baking bread and doing laundry. BLACKSMITH TO DAIRYMAID Every day you can see milking by hand and butter making in the dairy. There are weekly visits from the wheelwright, farrier and blacksmith, and in the woodsman's hut rakes and gate hurdles are made. These daily demonstrations of rural crafts complete the picture of estate-life a hundred years ago.
