Colour version of the troublesome trio of Dewsbury lads, Henry Smith, William Crowther and Alfred Grace caught ferreting in the Boathouse Plantation at Newmillerdam in October 1870 by Chevet Estate gamekeepers, George Stephenson and William Mellor.
For the moment, I’m leaving the gamekeepers out of the final colour version. Wakefield Archives hold photographs of Chevet Estate including at least one portrait of a gamekeeper, so I would be interested to see those.
