EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1987, captures the essence of rural life in Shropshire during the 1980s. The image features local farmer, Philip Dunn, standing proudly next to his horse-drawn cart at Acton Scott Historic Working Farm, near Church Stretton. The farm, which is now a popular tourist attraction and museum, showcases traditional farming methods and offers visitors a glimpse into the past. Philip, dressed in the typical attire of a Shropshire farmer, wears a flat cap and holds the reins of his sturdy carthorse. The horse, with its powerful muscles rippling in the sunlight, looks ready to pull the cart laden with hay or other farm produce. In the background, the rolling hills of Shropshire stretch out, dotted with farmhouses, barns, and other farm buildings. The scene is one of simplicity and hard work, a testament to the agricultural heritage of Shropshire. The use of horses for farming was a common sight in the 1980s, and this photograph beautifully encapsulates the connection between farmer and animal, the importance of the farmyard, and the beauty of the rural landscape. Acton Scott Historic Working Farm is a living museum, and this photograph offers a rare insight into the daily life of a farmer during the 1980s. It is a poignant reminder of a time when farming was a way of life, rather than a business, and when the relationship between farmer, horse, and land was deeply rooted in tradition and respect.
