This site was established by Wal Pilz (1927-2016) to share historical information depicted in photos and images of old scenes of the Rylstone District. Wal's belief was that sharing history was the best way to create a living history for Rylstone and the surrounding district. In Wal's memory, the site will continue to operate as an online database and you are invited to contribute images and information. Please comment or email Dan Hatton at oldimagesrylstonedistrict@gmail.com.
Haymaking at "Heatherly", Pinnacle Swamp, Rylstone
Photo: Shirley Tunnicliff collection
The person on the load of hay is my Mother Sylvia Ferguson née Mulholland. We used to bring the hay to a shed on the road to the house where it was pitchforked into the shed to be cut up by using a chaff cutter. The chaff was used to feed our horses and cows. The shed is not there any more but if you look at the next photo you will see the shed at the top of the photo.
Photo taken 1930's.
