Shedding a new light on Farming Life's historic photo archive (1982)

I have been working my way steadily through these old negatives to shed a new light on the archive.

Today we have a selection of photographs which date from 1982.

One shows Mr Stanley Anderson, Tullyconnell, Cookstown, Co Tyrone, takes delivery of a new breed of pigs for Northern Ireland – purebred Durocs for his herd – in April 1982.

Another shows Mr John Gabbie, Ballynahinch. Receiving the Northern Bank rosette from David Workman after winning the Simmental supreme championship with a bull at the breed show and sale at Balmoral in April 1982.

While another old photograph shows Mr John Kidd and Mr Robert Mulligan, both of Banbridge, pictured in August 1982 at the Suffolk sheep judging at the breed show and sale at Balmoral.

Have a look through our old photographs and see who you can spot.

And don’t forget to pick up this weekend’s Farming Life which has more old photographs on my Bygone Days page.
