PHOTOGRAPH OF THE MONTH
September 2016: Lincolnshire Moffrey
September 2016: Lincolnshire Moffrey

The capacity of the moffrey (or hermaphrodite) could be increased at harvest time by the addition of a fore-carriage (as shown here) to a simple 2-wheeled cart. This design was found only in Lincolnshire and some adjoining counties.
