Scottish farmers

Post by drbarbarajane »

Does anyone know of any work on the movement of Scottish farmers to Norfolk and Suffolk in the 1920-30s?

There is quite a lot on the movement of farmers from Scotland to Essex before WWI, but in the interwar years, not that I'm aware of.

Thanks Richard. I’m beginning to sense a gap in literature here! Anecdotally, I know of several farming families who moved south in the 20-30s. When I first moved to Suffolk in 2000 I lived on a 3rd generation Scots farm!
