Description
Copy of a photograph taken in 1901 of sheep washing in Apedale Beck ( Apedale). A farmer stands in the stream to wash the sheep, whilst another drops the sheep to him from an opening in the stone fold. A third man uses a pole to guide the sheep into deep water.
It was necessary to give the sheep a good wash at this time, as they would have been salved with a grease and tar mixture which had to be removed before shearing. Shearing would take place a week to ten days after the washing.
Originally held in green slide cabinet, reference B25.
