"PLOUGH BULLOCKING"
Nottingham Guardian,
12th Jan.1926, No.21776, p.10 d-e
Photo with the caption; "'Plough Bullocking.' - An old custom which was
observed on Burgage Hill, Southwell, this week. The lanterns used are over a
hundred years old." The Photo shows four men. All are wearing hats, and appear
to have beards, but these could be blackening. One is carrying a four-tined
pitchfork, and two others are carrying two-tined pitchforks with spheroidal
objects stuck on one tine. These objects are the size of grapefruit, but are
more likely to be swedes or similar, especially as they are not fixed very far
onto the tines. Two are carrying the old lanterns. One is wearing a smock,
another a white coat, a third an ordinary jacket, and the fourth appears to just
have vest and trousers.
