1930s 60s
A Memory of Swilland Manor.
Colonel Latham lived there, renting from a Major Terry. Sows and sucklings, large whites everywhere. Loads of photographs. They could see the southern sky lit up by the Blitz, 80 miles away. Only the Lord Nelson pub for company. Astonishing sunsets, a bleak house but lovely. German POWs laboured on the farm during the war. Bedroom floors interesting, and an amazing fireplace. Windy plateau, used to get cut off by snowdrifts in 40s-50s, and '63, not any more.
