SOURCES OF INFORMATION ON FARMING
Much of the information about farming in the twentieth century came from interviews held with Bingham’s farmers. The author thanks them for their willingness to take part. Interviews were held with Chris and Peter Lamin, Richard Hutton and his mother, Chris Cockayne, Neil Stubbs, Tom and Arthur Cockayne and Gordon Parratt.
