A large impressive looking dog for the time? Very much like a lurcher a friend owner years ago, but not as long ago as the photo obviously. Lurcher to lurcher he was but mostly greyhound and deerhound composite. Thanks for sharing, love the old photographs.

Dog looked like he earned his keep, what decade would that have been Marshman ?

Here's a canny one, just out of a book, 1930's I think

When i read his question i thought 1950's due to the trailer and the tent,recon by the 60's the old tent was a rare thing to see seeing as your people were starting to live more on tarmac than country lanes and commons as such..

I remember early 90s an old traveller woman sitting at the edge of a back road in a tent made out of branches with a bit of canvas thrown over,

I can still picture her perfect she had this big black heavy looking pot hanging over the fire for cooking an sometimes there was a young kid with her, there was a lot of travellers up that way I got to know a good few of them, I still talk to some of them, the odd one still pops in to my mother's to see my old man he got on great with them
