Mackham Farm

A typical farmyard scene at Mackham, two farmers, Gilbert Forbear in the waistcoat and a friend watch the scene with knowing interest. All the requirements for such a farmyard are here, the henhouse and some hens, a dung heap with a winter’s accumulation of dung, three sows eating from their troughs and all of it outside the back door of the farmhouse.

Unexploded bomb at Mackham Farm

The unexploded bomb at Mackham Farm in WWII with members of the Forbear family, (even the dog is posing for the photo). Presumably the soldier had defused the bomb? At least one other unexploded bomb still remains buried in the area.
