Kinder Sheepwash Project
Location: Derbyshire
The focus of this project was farming life and agriculture in the Kinder Valley pre 1950. The group recorded the voices and reminiscences of farmers in the Kinder Valley to provide a living record of life there.
They also restored an old sheepwash (one of the few traces on the landscape of a once thriving upland farming community) and researched and documented how it was used and its place in the farming calendar.
The sheepwash also provided the focus for illustrating the historical competition for natural resources between town and country. An interpretation platform was installed next to the sheepwash.
A CD ROM was also produced which contains oral reminiscences and other researched information on the social and economic life of upland farmers.
