Mary Turner
Women's Land Army
from:Hebden Bridge, Yorkshire
Mary Turner came down from Hebden Bridge to work in the fields down the fen at Swaffham Prior. She stayed in Swaffham Prior House, with all the other land girls, some from Manchester and Liverpool. It was hard work for these girls.
My mum (Mary) met my dad in the village of Swaffham Prior, some of the other girls married local lads too. The girls kept in touch, they had a couple of reunions at Swaffham Prior House, they were invited to go in and look at where they used to live. Life had certainly changed from when they lived there.
