Case Study: S.E Davis & Son

In 1930 Mr Sydney Ernest Davis and his wife bought Sandhills Farm. When they welcomed their new son, Bob in 1934, it became the family home. Here, they farmed, hatched and reared chicks up until the mid-60s. The child of Sydney and his wife Alice, Bob, at the age of 9, developed a fascination with earth moving machinery. This was after he saw the TD9 which belonged to local engineers. By the time Bob was 13 he was using the TD9 for ploughing. Onto the 1950s and Bob and his partner began to acquire earth moving machinery for themselves and into the 1960s saw their machinery being put to work on various local projects. Bob Davis’s crawlers and dumpers were a familiar sight during the making of the M5 and the M42 motorways.
