Sunday school outings, I ask at the various churches and it is amazing the information available on the trips they had to farms picnic areas etc. they can tell you the Farm even the field and activities they had on that visit.

Quite often these trips involved the whole community and several parishes at the same time, as well as picnics the adults would drink where a site is close to a pond or river people would get changed in to and out of costumes and drop or loose items.

Ideal places to search Farmers have been very helpful, I always ask all my farmers if they have a picnic area on there land, one recently told me that they used to come from miles around to sit need the old mill by the river, there is no mill marked on any of my maps in the area the farmer told me about but when you look on Google earth you can see the land has had considerable traffic and a very faint outline next to the river. :icon_study: :icon_scratch: :icon_sunny:
