Moat Farm 1930. Old Moat Drive by Northfield church is named after a moat, 60m square at Moat Farm. It was levelled in 1930 and houses were built on the site in 1965. This may have been the site of Northfield manor house from the 11th century until the 14th century when it was superseded by the castle at Weoley Castle.
Red area is the 1925 proposed by-pass map, but shows the location of Moat Farm, the moated box area was an ornate garden with a small footbridge of the moat.
