Tea Planter

 
 

My family lived and worked in India for many generations - my father’s side in the army, and my mother’s in Tea. So when Stew Campbell went out after the war, in 1946, to take up a job in Tea, he met Betty Lawrie.

These photos provide a glimpse into the social life of the tea planter in Assam through several generations.
