Some of these photographs have lain in the library gathering dust over the years, but with modern technology, and a bit of graft, Farming Life are delighted to be able to offer their readers a fascinating look back in time with our new videos and reels.
This collection of old photos is from 1981.
Have a look and see who you might be able to spot in our collection of photos.
