Description
Mr. Reeves, ex-employee of H. P. Bulmer (cider producers), and curator of Leominster Museum, relates a story of a woman who, thinking they were dead, plucked some geese to take to Leominster market. When the geese revived she made flannel coats for the plucked ones. This story related to a Kingsland clergyman, James Jobling, in the nineteenth century. [Tr. 4]
[Collector announcement: A retired employee of Bulmers recently told the following story about the turning of the bags.] This relates to a story told of the turning of bags of apples, and the man who replaced the cider that used to come out of the bags during this process with urine, to trick the employees who were drinking the cider. [Tr. 5]
[Collector announcement]; Frank Holland, of Checkley, recorded on the 21 March 1976; talks about home-made cider; the price of foodstuffs, animal feed and inflation; his house, bought in 1920; fruit trees (reference to Bulmers); pruning apple trees; crab stock (grown from small apple); kernel (from an apple pip); wages in 1923.
Mr. Holland continues with talk of carrying apples on a pony and trap; the price of apples, per ton, in the 1920s/1930s; past Bulmer employees. [Tr. 6]
