70 years of Clayhidon brought back to life in photo exhibition

This  image of Dave Persey driving a magnificent pair of horses in a ploughing match is one of hundreds of photographs of Clayhidon people and events taken over the past 70 years and put together in an exhibition to celebrate The Queen’s  reign.
