Farm

1920

Set at the end of a rugged country track through Homer Field, this photograph captures Woodlands Farm in Bridford just as it was a century ago — rustic, thatched, and alive with quiet resilience. The farm buildings seem to grow organically from the landscape, their whitewashed walls contrasting with the dark roofs and winter-bare trees.

This is a scene that speaks of traditional Devon farming life, where horses pulled carts, livestock roamed the yard, and stone walls defined the rhythm of the seasons. It’s not just a home, but a way of life rooted in the soil, in the hedgerows, and in the memory of a community.

If your family once lived or worked here, or you have photographs or stories about Bridford’s farming heritage, share them on Oldpik.com and help us grow the story of rural England.
