1840s 1844 Agriculture Anglian Beam Daily Ipswich Plough Progress Ransomes Special Supplement Times Made

EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning wood beam plough, crafted by the renowned Ipswich-based firm Ransomes in 1844, offers a glimpse into the early Victorian era of farming and agriculture in East Anglia. The intricately carved wooden beams, each meticulously shaped and smoothed, reveal the skill and dedication of the craftsmen who brought this piece to life. The plough, a symbol of progress during the 1840s, was a vital tool in the daily lives of farmers during this period. Its large size and robust design were well-suited to the heavy, clay soils common in the region. The curved shape of the beams allowed the plough to turn easily in the furrows, while the sharp, pointed share at the front sliced through the soil, preparing it for planting. This particular plough, now a cherished relic of the past, stands as a testament to the ingenuity and resourcefulness of rural communities during the 19th century. It is a reminder of the simple yet effective tools that enabled farmers to cultivate the land and provide for their families and communities. The Wood Beam Plough, made by Ransomes of Ipswich in 1844, is an essential addition to any collection of historical farming equipment or agricultural memorabilia. Its timeless design and rich history make it a fascinating subject for study and appreciation by scholars, historians, and enthusiasts alike.
