Smillies Farm, Nettlebed.
I’m looking for any information, photos or memories anyone might have of the R. Smillie and Sons farm at Manor Farm, Nettlebed adjacent to the church.
The farm was the dairy for the village until the 1970’s and delivered milk around the village and possibly to surrounding areas.
I'd love to know if anyone remembers the farmer, the farm as it ran in those days, or anything else at all.....!
many thanks
Patrick.

A community noticeboard has been provided by Nettlebed Parish Council for use by residents. If you have anything of interest/benefit to the local community to communicate, please feel free to display it on the board.
The noticeboard is located on the side wall of the Village Club (along the path between the club and the surgery). It is open to the elements, so best to either laminate, or use a plastic wallet to protect any posters etc.

HAVE YOU EVER THOUGHT OF BECOMING A PARISH COUNCILLOR?
If you live or work in or near the Parish and would like to make a real difference to the local community and environment, now is a good time to consider becoming a councillor.
WHAT EXPERTISE DO PARISH COUNCILLORS NEED? The most important thing that Parish councillors need is enough time and enthusiasm to get things done. The Council has a strict code of conduct but a fair amount of flexibility in deciding what it should do. So members need to be proactive and identify issues and gaps that really matter and how to tackle them - particularly important now that District and County resources are being stretched thinner.
At Nettlebed Parish Council there are 8 seats (2 seats are currently vacant).
If you would like more information, please contact parish.clerk@nettlebed-pc.org.uk / tel: 01491 614815
The next Parish Council meeting is on Weds, 6th Feb at 7.30pm - click here to see the agenda.
