One photograph showing a group of women picking potatoes into baskets. Caption on the back reads: 'Dismissed factory girls go 'back to the land'. Well wrapped up to combat the biting wind the girls really get down to it as they help to gather the potato harvest on Mr Lindley's farm at Stanley Ferry.' See description of object 1983-5236/41980, SMG00344808 for further details on this story.
