Loading up barley straw bales on the 60 acre field at Bridge End Farm. The bales are being lifted up using a two-tyned pitchfork (locally referred to as a 'pikel'). The 'lorry' on which they are being stacked is being pulled by a Massey Ferguson 135 tractor. St Wilfred's Church spire is in the distance.
