A scene in 2011, showing some of the changes that have taken place at Station farm in the past 41 years.
Chris Branch says in 2011:
" My wife Diane stands aside to watch the Rescue donkeys come in from the pasture, to the yard for the night.
In the background, is the1951 water tower which ensured that water pressure was sufficient to allow piped water to reach the animal troughs on the Six-acres and Station pastures.
See also part of "Back Wood" and in front, the land where Uncle Harry Calver kept his pigs that "brought home the bacon" - sufficient cash only four years after the War to buy the freehold of the whole farm (130 acres in 1949) for just 500 guineas. (Diane's cousin tells me that wheat from Canada and America was being shipped to the UK in such quantity that our farmers were unable to receive true value for crops grown here, and as a consequence farmland was being sold off very cheaply)."
