Railway track at Wickhamford Manor

There was once a length of railway track in the grounds of Wickhamford Manor farm, for moving produce from the fields.  This picture shows that is was of narrow gauge (18"-24" approximately) and the truck used on it was pulled by hand.  The date of this picture is around 1917-19, as the women are members of the Women's Land Army in the First World War.  The man is George Higgins Hardiman.  It is not known when this track was laid or when it was removed.
