Sunshine Draws Large Crowds

After the awful weather of recent days the sunshine was a very welcome sight at Little Sharpshaw Farm, Marston, Near Frome, where on 27^th July Cooper & Tanner were pleased to hold a full dispersal of farm machinery and effects for Gerald & Tim Hoddinott. Large crowds in excess of 600 people were in attendance and demand was exceptional for this genuine well maintained machinery. Buyers came from many counties as well as Wales and Ireland.
