Inside Oak Barn, an early 20th century threshing machine was still in use for cleaning corn in 1968. Roger Cherry on the right and Alf Kimnell on the left. Caption on the back of photo says “one of the veterans still going strong, Cherrys’ Farm (Sulgrave) 1968″ but doesn’t say whether this is a reference to the machine or Alf!
