1948 Farm bailiff, staff and students at Gjorslev.

            There were some well fit and handsome guys working there then. In the oldest photos, you can see that it is more the rule than the exception that you wore your rubber boots with turned down tops, mostly a slimline turned down. Breeches were almost mandatory. As the years go by, the breeches/trousers become work trousers instead. Rubber boots with turned down tops, however, persist into the 1960s. I don't have any pictures from the 1970s, but back then there were still always a few cheeky guys wearing their rubber boots with turned down tops.
Gjorslev, is a large estate with a main building built in 1396, one of the oldest buildings in Denmark. 1,660 hectares / 4,150 acres belong to the estate today. About half is farming land, 20 hectares is park and garden, the rest is forest.
 About 38 km. direct south-south west of Copenhagen. By road is there about 62 km. Zealand, Denmark.
