Little cottage in the corner of Beech's Farm was the Station Masters House for the Midland Railway. It's almost opposite the just out of view, end of Woodlands
Road . Circa 1895. Beeches Farm was over 5 acres in size and that
cottage was on 0.3 acres. Two footpaths led from Beeches Farm, one to
Quarry Farm & the other to Bristol Road South. There was still over
37 farms in Northfield as late as 1970. I've also added a new photo from
the same spot today.
