No information on this image and the year is questionable. Is this an early version of the Begg Forestry Plough and the team who produced the machine?
Can anyone confirm or name the people and the location? Any information on the family, workshop and the development of the Begg Plough would be very welcome.
From the comments by William Begg and a subsequent email the following people have been named L-R.
Unknown
Mr Koronka
Dorothy Spiers
