Ploughing
THIS wartime photograph shows a man hard at work ploughing up part of Lever Park, Rivington, near Great House Barn.
The image was captured in June 1940 when large areas of land were turned over to food production to feed the country's population. Do you have any stories about local parks being used for growing crops? Contact us on 01204 537271 or email newsdesk@theboltonnews.co.uk
