Synopsis

This beautifully illustrated history gives an insight into what life was like in the countryside of South-East England more than 100 years ago. Over 300 photographs give a glimpse of every aspect of farm and village existence - from the home, the family and social life to agricultural labour, livestock, farm machinery and animals, rural crafts and trades, and the seasonal cycle. This visual record of rural life in an area of heath and downland on London's doorstep will make essential reading for everyone who loves the countryside and is curious about its real history.
