THE ARCHIVE ROOM - 28 SEPTEMBER 2023
The Archive Room - Programmes from the Manx Radio Archives
Thursday, 28 September 2023 - 26 minutes
In this episode, it's Harvest time in The Archive Room, as the late John Kennaugh takes us on a nostalgic trip to farms on the Island, in an era when bringing in the harvest was done with very little machinery and a lot of manual labour; when there was no harvest thanksgiving until the harvest was completely in, and when Mill Days and Tea Fights were highlights of the autumn calendar.
Everything you need to know about Manx harvest time and all its traditions is here, as John chats with Ken Collister and Callin Hudson - the conversations were recorded in September 2002
