FAMILIAR SIGHTS ON A COUNTRY LANE

These were considered familiar sights on a country lane in Edwardian times. A motorcar would have been a rare sight in this rural setting. The images show the herding of cattle and sheep from one pasture to another; a farm worker attending to the dirt road (perhaps filling in ruts); a cart by a gate; the ploughman and his horses on the way home; a family gathering nuts in the autumn; pigs in a field.
