My Great uncle Fred Taylor who had the pen by the side of the Clarrington brook
Had pigs ,horses chickens and veg but his fav was Pigeons he raced then from everywhere even France How well I remember standing with the clock watching for them to pass Clarrington forge chimney If they didn,t come into the loft first time he would wring their necks and it would be pigeon broth for supper, my mam used to say its good fer your bad chest
