More about this scene

Geese run loose on the grass at Mannington hamlet, midway between the villages of Holt and Horton in the hills north of Wimborne. Self-contained, with its own shop (centre), this used to be a detached part of the parish of Gussage All Saints, which is situated in the downlands of Cranborne Chase, but in 1886 it was ceded to Holt. Farmers Wesley Haskell and George Hatchard lived at Mannington, and David Cutler was the innkeeper at the Cross Keys, Lower Mannington, beside Holt Heath.

I worked in a racing stables in Manaton, we used to exercise up on the moor. 3 other girls were there too and it was great fun. The yard moved to Somerset after and I went with it, wonderful days. Hi Sam, Hi Brian.
