Chaffcutter.
Richmond & Chandler of Manchester.
Richmond & Chandler of Victoria Works, Salford, and then Globe Works, Southall Street, Salford were Agricultural Engineers.
This machine was a great help to farmers in their labour-intensive industry. It cut straw or hay into short lengths called chaff. Chaff is usually mixed with other feed for the stock but can also be used for poultry feeding.
I had one of these beauties years ago, this one is a single bag mine was a two bagger & green. The whole family used to help cut lucerne & oat & chaff from sheaves, dusty work but fun.

Cemetery established in the 1850s behind the old St Augustine’s church which was built on the corner of Commercial Road and Carey Street (foundation stone 1851). In the early years a number of burials were from outlying districts such as Dry Creek, Virginia, Two Wells and Lower Light.
By the mid 1980s the cemetery was neglected and ignored as families took up plots at the Spains Road Cemetery (now renamed Salisbury Memorial Park). During this time St Augustine’s cemetery was damaged by vandals. Some of the headstones were toppled; others were cracked or broken in pieces. Decorations, such as doves’ wings and crosses, were broken off.
After the church appointed a committee and curator, some headstones were restored, some isolated ones removed to a Pioneer Section. Ground cover and conifers were planted.
Many early burial records were either lost or not recorded. The earliest burial found was of Patrick Spain who died 1856 aged 24 years; this is recorded in the Adelaide St Patrick’s church register. The reconstruction of a burial register by Father Morrison, a collector of church archive material and Parish Priest from 1916-1926, was assisted by old-timers’ memories.
The heritage corner has some of the oldest surviving stones, including those of Patrick McCabe died 1861, Mary Ryan 1862, Catherine Ann Watson 1863 and Catherine Sheehan 1864.

“The Methodists of the Gawler circuit were invited to an 'At Home' recently by the Rev. E. J. and Mrs. Piper. The object of the gathering was to inspect the new home for Gawler ministers. . . For a long while the condition of the old manse had been considered unsatisfactory, and about fifteen months ago the necessary steps were taken to secure permission to sell the old building. An offer of £5l0 was accepted, and then it became imperative to provide a new home for the minister. . . an offer by Mr. Alfred May of his handsome and commodious house adjoining the old premises. . . the cost was £1,000. In addition the trustees voted £100 for much-needed furnishings. . . There are ten rooms and a well-finished and ventilated underground room; besides kitchens and other conveniences.

A visit to the National Trust property of Benthall Hall in Shropshire.
The hall opens after 1pm. You can take photos inside on the ground floor only. Saw the 1st floor, but no photos allowed, and 2nd floor no access, private, as the Benthall family still live here.
Benthall Hall is a 16th-century English country house in Benthall in the town of Broseley, Shropshire, England, and a few miles from the historic Ironbridge Gorge. It retains much of its fine oak interior, and an elaborate 17th-century staircase. It is still occupied by the Benthall family, but has been owned by the National Trust since 1958, and is open to the public every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Saturday, Sunday and Bank Holiday Monday (February – October).
The Hall was built around 1580, probably on the site of an earlier 12th-century medieval manor and manor house. During the Civil War it was garrisoned, and was a site of several skirmishes.
The garden is largely the product of two tenants. George Maw (1832–1912), local pottery manufacturer and crocus enthusiast developed the garden from around 1865 onwards. Subsequently, the Victorian era Romantic painter and sculptor Robert Bateman (1842–1922), who was the son of a famous horticulturalist, added the rockeries and terraces of the current garden.
The Restoration era church of St. Bartholomew, built 1667–68, stands close by the Hall. The Shropshire Way, a waymarked long-distance footpath, passes through the extensive woodland that lies to the north, between the estate and the River Severn.
In the film Enola Holmes, Benthall Hall was used for the exterior shots of the Holmes' family estate.

Cemetery established in the 1850s behind the old St Augustine’s church which was built on the corner of Commercial Road and Carey Street (foundation stone 1851). In the early years a number of burials were from outlying districts such as Dry Creek, Virginia, Two Wells and Lower Light.
By the mid 1980s the cemetery was neglected and ignored as families took up plots at the Spains Road Cemetery (now renamed Salisbury Memorial Park). During this time St Augustine’s cemetery was damaged by vandals. Some of the headstones were toppled; others were cracked or broken in pieces. Decorations, such as doves’ wings and crosses, were broken off.
After the church appointed a committee and curator, some headstones were restored, some isolated ones removed to a Pioneer Section. Ground cover and conifers were planted.
Many early burial records were either lost or not recorded. The earliest burial found was of Patrick Spain who died 1856 aged 24 years; this is recorded in the Adelaide St Patrick’s church register. The reconstruction of a burial register by Father Morrison, a collector of church archive material and Parish Priest from 1916-1926, was assisted by old-timers’ memories.
The heritage corner has some of the oldest surviving stones, including those of Patrick McCabe died 1861, Mary Ryan 1862, Catherine Ann Watson 1863 and Catherine Sheehan 1864.
