I'm looking for any information about a Mr. Smale, who I understand was tenant of Denham Farm (aka Denham Market Garden, formerly part of the Earl of Mount Edgecombe Estate) nr. Bere Alston in the Parish of Bere Ferrers, West Devon. He was tenant up until c1930 when he sold it to the Langsford family.

We purchased part of the farm recently and are interested in any information about it's history what-so-ever, but particularly early photographs of the fruit pack-houses, and social history related to growing strawberries and daffodils.
