How Sloe Gin Was Made In 1910 | Edwardian Farm EP3 | Absolute History

Historian Ruth Goodman and archaeologists Alex Langlands and Peter Ginn recreate the running of a farm as it would ve been in the Edwardian era. Ruth prepares for the arrival of the farm s pigs and works on the privy, while Alex and Peter compare ploughing with horses to ploughing with the world s oldest working tractor. Peter begins a trout hatchery. In order to repair the hedgerows, Alex takes a trip to a water-powered smithy for a billhook. Ruth makes sloe gin for Christmas and entertains with a gramophone.
