Retro: 35 more photographs from the Farming Life 1981 July archive

We have another superb selection of old photographs which come from the Farming Life archives.

These photographs, there are 35 in total are from July 1981, so they are 43 years old.

We were wondering if any of our readers might be able to identify those in the photographs.

Have a look through this selection and let us know, drop us a comment, or email [email protected].

In the weeks and months, we hope to bring regular Retro pictures for readers to enjoy.
