THE September sun shone over a successful Leominster Vintage Working Day.
The event, held at Wharton Court on September 14, was hailed a "great success" with plenty to see and do.
The two working horses, owned by Kim Williams of Newent and the gypsy cob, were very popular with the crowds as well as a display of chickens, ducks and goats brought along by Wynne’s of Dinmore.
There was a good patch of standing corn left by Edwards Farms of Byton for the combine supplied by John and Peter Paske to cut before the binder and thrashing box were put to use.
Static displays included cars, tractors, lorries, garden tractors and many other vehicles of interest.
Around the field and in the marquee, which was supplied by Henman’s of Shobdon, there were a variety of displays to seen – from Leominster quilters, rug ragging, spinning, willow weaving, cameras, name plates, tractor seats, hammers and a selection of model farm implements and tractors.
Two agricultural traction engines and a steam roller were also on show and Nick Helme brought out the engine he has been restoring for the past few years.
There were also a number of tractors of all makes and sizes working the field was a hive of activity.
The popular dog show was also enjoyed by entrants and spectators.
