Daily Herald Photograph: Picking potatoes

One photograph showing a group of women holding baskets of potatoes. Caption on the back reads: 'Dismissed factory girls go 'back to the land'. Some of the 68 girls who were sacked from the Yorkshire Electric Detonator Comany's factory at Normanton because they walked out last week in protest at the dismissal of 18-year-old Doreen Wray are today picking potatoes to help balance the budget and 'not let their parents down'. Some of the dismissed girls, well wrapped up to combat the biting wind, bringing in the harvest on Mr. Lindley's farm at Stanley Perry.'
