The Bodalla Estate from 1860 to 1989"

by Helen Townend

"Using voices from the past, the Bodalla Estate book is intended to honour Thomas Sutcliffe Mort, his descendants, his Bodalla farm workers and all those who continue to farm in the beautiful Bodalla area. The story begins with TS Mort's 1860 decision to establish a single vast integrated dairy farming estate & butter & cheese manufacturing enterprise over 50,000 acres of land at Bodalla. A series of eye-witness reports, beginning in 1875, describe in detail the establishment, operations, difficulties & successes of Mort's remarkably successful "Bodalla Estate" through to the final outcome for the estate in 1989." A4, 128 pages, diagrams, illustrations, colour photographs.
