I remember potato picking in the early fifties in the corner of the field, the farmer would make a potato pie the potatoes would be heaped up into a large pile then they would be covered in straw and a layer of clay. When did this practice stop? If that practice was used today they would probably get nicked!
Harvest time at Cunninghams Farm c1940
Where was Cunningham’s farm?
It was at Stainton off the A174.
