IanG Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 Does anyone have info as to what wooders was like especially round the barbers field before the fraser estate was built, i know there used to a farm but thats about it, there is loads of realy old concrete poles and bollards round the edges of the field and im intrested in what they were used for. I also found a old picture off some blokes digging some kind of trench on barbers field and cant work it where it is taken. cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozone DS Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 They have old photo's and history of S8 in Active 8 magazine. You could try writing to them to see if they can put an article in about Barbers field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lotusflower Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 Chantry Land by Harold Armitage is a book you'd like. Written by someone who lived during the latter half of the 19th Century and first published in 1910. It contains pictures and first hand experience of history unfolding. Enjoy!
