Making a Dorset Hurdle

Over the years Breeze and Freeze have been lucky enough to work with some real characters in the agri-rural sector. We think it is important to preserve some ancient skills and maintain the memory of some remarkable characters we have met along the way. Here Bert Manton from Woodford Halse in Northamptonshire shows us how to create a traditional Dorset hurdle. Bert has written a book about his life called 'The Bottom Rung Of The Ladder' By Robert Herbert Manton. The books will be available from the publisher. [email protected] Tel. 01295 758889. Or from Bert himself. [email protected] Tel +44 (0)1327 260898. Or mobile 07975 877350. The price will be £15.00 plus postage. They should be available in October 2023
