Now living in the spiritual home of the sausage (Lincolnshire) I reckon I know a thing or two about em...
I have collected a few photos of the sausage industry in days gone by. Once picked sausages needed to be transported from the flat fens into the towns and cities. They would be ferried along the rivers and dykes by watermen known locally as Jockeys. Here in this 19th C photo a young Jockey takes a break before the final push on into Lincoln market.
Today there is a movement away from the intensive sausage farming methods of the 60s 70s and 80s. Now organic sausages are growing on the fertile soil of Baston Fen.
Some of the larger ones where used as buildings in this photo we see a converted puffer-banger mill that is now part of a modern housing estate.
And to finish on a more traditional note here is one of Lincolnshires lovingly tended thatched sausages.
