About this product

Product Information

A pictorial account by Norman Neasom of Birchensale Farm , the farm where he was born and grew up. Situated on the outskirts of Redditch in Worcestershire, the name Birchensale dates back to Roman times and means 'Birches on the Saltway' as the monks from the nearby Bordesley Abbey used to carry the salt from Droitwich back to Bordesley over the land where the farm was later built. It is no longer a working farm and the land that was farmed all those years ago has given away to an expansive development of private housing estates. The old farm house and barn still exist but have been renovated after years of neglect and are now used as a local community centre. Norman has gained success and recognition as a professional watercolour painter in the intervening years since leaving Birchensale , but has never forgotten his roots. This account is a fond memory of farming how it used to be in a world very different from the world we live in now.
