Old Abandoned Thresher
An authentic portable grain threshing machine, as found long since abandoned in the corner of a field outside the town of Pocklington, East Yorkshire, U.K.
This wooden-bodied agricultural machine probably dates to the very early 20th century, circa 1900s, possibly even earlier. However, I have no idea what exact year this machine was built, who the manufacturer was, or why this was simply left abandoned here. Evidently, this contraption has been here for a very long time, sitting and rotting for several decades. It seems several of its once-moving parts are still in-place, and although in very rough shape, has not deteriorated as badly as it possibly could have, given the years of harsh winters (it isn’t a mound of dust yet!). Note the extra auxiliary steel implements sitting next to the thresher, respectively.
Nowadays, it is quite rare to find a relic of this vintage simply abandoned, out in the open, close to a country lane. Even more surprising is that in all this time, the thresher was not vandalised with graffiti, torched by arsonists, or removed for scrap/timber.
