Anti-Gypsy trenching on Holden Farm This recently-dug trench is not for drainage, as evidenced by the fact that there are bunds on both sides of it and there is nothing flowing into it. It is an example of the works that farmers find themselves forced to do to prevent unlawful occupation of their land by so-called travellers. It is a pity that lawyers are incapable of realising the trouble that they cause.
