Looking Back: Drawing the hay

Another photo from the set taken by Eric Colson in 1947 shows a hay cock being drawn from its original field on a hay bogie, writes Brian Byrne.

Again, thanks to PJ Lydon for lending the album to the Diary. Eric Colson was husband of Tessie Kelly from the Milemill Kelly family.

From your editor's own recollections in the later 1950s, of hitching rides on a similar bogie at haymaking time of year, would this be Tom Molloy, whose field was where Avondale is now?
