ROTHER VALLEY HARRIERS

The following photos have been supplied from the Elsam Photo Collection.  

Richard Elsam, who lived at New House Farm was master of the Rother Valley Harriers.  

There are several photos so please scroll down the page.

You will note from the photos there are two types of hunt, mounted and on foot.

When on foot, the members of the hunt wear white shorts and long black socks.
