Gloucester Old Spot

Acton Scott Historic Working Farm, Shropshire

this sow is soon going to encounter the awful problem of having grown so large in her cosy sty that she may be too big to get out. Let me hear no mention of bacon, as I know no-one today would like it with that proportion of fat. For C19th farm workers, a slither of bacon fat was about the only protein they got

Wow! Certainly a large one! Excellent exposure to get the light and shade right. v

Yes she is in need of an extension to her sty alright. Maybe an orangery or she may settle for a conservatory.
