Swaledale Lime Lorry, 1965

lime lorry

Summer 1965 and there’s been a delay in a delivery of lime in Swaledale. Perhaps you recognise the delivery man or the guys he’s talking to – the local farmer perhaps?

This colourised image is from one of my badly developed black and white negatives from 1965. There are dozens from a school trip of Richmond Castle, which Iooks pretty much the same today, so it’s the few which feature vehicles that particularly interest me.

Lime and Apple

limeThe hybrid limes in the Victorian gardens of Horbury are now in fresh green leaf and the apples are in blossom.

This blossom is a variety called James Grieve which is a cooker at the start of the season, an eater as it gets sweeter towards the end.
