Lou is the owner of Cragend Farm with her husband Shaun, and deals with everything from Holiday Accommodation inquiries to egg collection from the chickens; she is the social media and web design finger-tapper.
The Weighbridge at Cragend Farm was designed by H.Pooley and Son Liverpool and there is a video on youtube about its history and restoration.
It is one of very few that remain in-situ. Other examples can be found at Chatham Dock Museum and Beamish Museum.
We have added it as a side bar here but you can also view it on our youtube channel Cragend Farm, along with other videos we have taken about the farm.
