Wessex Saddleback sows being driven through the Square in the 1960s

Five heavily pregnant Wessex Saddleback sows being driven through the Square in the 1960s, notice the man in front is carrying a bucket and broom to ensure that the road is kept clean! Lloyds Bank on the left was still operational, this was before Egypt House, (centre right) was demolished to provide a village car park.

    The man leading the pigs was Bert Hill ( my Father). The bucket he was carrying contained pig nuts which he rattled to encourage the pigs to follow. He farmed at Churchills Farm from 1950 until 1974. The man at the rear was Leslie White (his brother-in-law).
