Christopher Passmore was born in 1931 into a well known local farming family at Applesham Farm, Coombes. When he was a young man he had his own flock of sheep. Just after World War 2 his father suggested he should take the lambs (about 40 of them) to Findon Fair. He had a young puppy trained as a sheep dog and he set of across the Downs with them.

In this clip Christopher describes droving the sheep from Applesham Farm across the Downs to Findon Fair.
