ABERCHIRDER

Typical steam
engine driven thresher which would have travelled from farm to farm. These
were used to separate the grain from
the stalks - a job done by combine harvesters now. In those days, large
numbers of workers and helpers would gather and
it became something of a social event in the farming community.
