Description

Evidence ID: GHF-E168
Catalogue title: Newspaper photograph captioned “Police wait outside the farmhouse”, circa April 1988
Current object status, as at 10-10-2026: uploaded image; metadata and full source context need verification.

A separate newspaper photograph currently described in the media library as showing police vehicles and officers outside Great House Farm during a reported four-hour confrontation. It is associated with the GHF-E090-N07 newspaper article “Chainsaw farmer vows to fight on”; the original newspaper date, photographer, print/page and caption should be verified against the physical or full-page source.

Record the creator/sender, recipient, exact date, title/series, archive/reference, page/sheet number, scale and any wrapper or accompanying letter from the source itself. Preserve the uploaded version and, if another copy is obtained, record which version is original, a derivative, a cropped extract or a later reproduction. Do not silently replace one version with another.

Transcription

Open transcription and text record

No separate verbatim transcription is included in this catalogue entry as at 10-10-2026. The caption quoted in the catalogue title should be checked against the full newspaper page or original print before being treated as a verbatim source transcription.

Interpretation and wider context

The image may corroborate that the newspaper published a scene depicting police presence at the farm. It does not, by itself, establish the officers’ identities, powers, purpose, orders, conduct, timing, or the legality of any eviction or enforcement action. Pair it with the contemporaneous article, court order or warrant, police log and witness accounts, each as separate catalogue items.

  • Verify the image against the complete original or a reliable archival copy; record the citation, provenance and file integrity.
  • Link every mention on the Wiki to this catalogue page rather than directly to an upload-only URL.
  • Link any cited letter, report, title plan, newspaper article or official record to its own dedicated catalogue page as well.
  • Keep source facts, interpretation, inference and open questions distinct. A missing contextual item is a retrieval gap, not proof of non-existence or misconduct.
