Full Description
{1} A good supply of water was essential for the large number of cattle as well as for domestic use. There were three wells on the farm; one sited in the yard close to the farmhouse, one by the long cattle sheds in front of the 19th century cottages and the third located outside the yard at the north-west corner of the hay barn. In the 1920s there are records of the farm paying a rent of £1 a year to the Grand Junction Canal Co. for a watering place in the meadows by the canal, an arrangement that must have begun when the canal cut the farm off from the river in the 1810s.
