North End Farm and the Clappison Family

North End Farm, Cowden Lane was long associated with the Clappison family. This is a series of photos of the farm and the family in
roughly chronological order. The family lived at the farm until the late 1960's and then moved to Great Hatfield but continued to
work the farm up until 1995.
