On this page is a collection of thumbnails linking to photographs of some special finds from Tollgate Farm which are otherwise hard to find in the news and gallery pages. Some of the photos are new and do not appear elsewhere on this website.

 

This is an initial selection - I may pick out more later.

 

All photographs, unless otherwise attributed, were taken by the Society's chief photographer, Dave Thomas.
