In this charming print from 1955, we see Hilbre Island custodian Charles Clifton and his wife Jean engaging in a heartwarming activity - feeding their two beloved goats. The couple's dedication to caring for the island is evident as they tend to these furry residents of Hilbre. One of the goats holds a special significance, having been born on the picturesque Isle of Skye before finding its way to Hilbre when the Cliftons assumed their custodial duties four years prior. This unique connection between two islands adds an element of intrigue and adventure to this delightful snapshot. The image captures not only the beauty of nature but also highlights the important role that caretakers like Charles and Jean play in preserving our natural treasures. Their commitment shines through as they lovingly provide nourishment for these animals under their watchful eye. This photograph transports us back to a simpler time, where individuals took pride in their work and found solace amidst nature's wonders.
