In the late 1990s, when BSE was conclusively linked to vCJD, a number of British farmers went out of business whilst others faced an uncertain future. But for the Bracewells, a hill-farming family renting a 160-acre holding in the Pennines, the crisis was one more reason to maintain links with the past. Watch as the two generations of the Bracewells run the farmland as well as the meat stall in the nearby market town of Todmorden.
