Title: Back of Beyond. Memories of Life on a Holderness Farm 1903 – 1925 by Alice M. Markham
Summary: Back of Beyond is Alice M. Markham’s memoir of growing up on a farm in Holderness, East Yorkshire, during the early twentieth century. The book provides a detailed picture of rural family life before, during, and after the First World War.
Markham recalls a childhood shaped by farm work, family responsibilities, seasonal routines and the close-knit nature of rural communities. Life on the farm was largely self-sufficient. Animals, crops, gardens and household tasks all required constant attention, and children were expected to help. The memoir describes everyday activities such as looking after livestock, harvesting, cooking, preserving food and travelling between isolated farms and villages.
