Collection One is a sample of images to get the ball rolling. These were taken by Graham and by Ike, mostly around Bishopthorpe but some are from further afield. There are 16 images in this Collection. Once you're looking at the full entry, just click on the any of the small images below to see a larger version in a separate window.

There used to be a number of abandoned but interesting farm machines in the fields between Bishopthorpe and Acaster Malbis. They've been moved away now, but were a feature for a good number of years.

Another view - it was probably state of the art when new.
