THE WOOD YARD
The Wood Yard was an important part of rural industry. The Museum’s yard has equipment dating from 1880 – 1940, including a rack saw bench with a circular blade dating from the 1920s, a horizontal rack saw bench, last worked at Ivory’s Farm, Cowfold and a 1937 Smith and Sons (Rodley) rail-mounted steam crane, from the Charlton sawmills near Chichester.
