Hawksley Farm
Hawksley Farm, c.1907. Taken from a post card of this date. Ended up being owned by Austin Family and was demolished in late 50's. The lake is the moat that had surrounded it from medieval times, but this building was built around 1885.
1950's Ordinance Survey view of the Farm and moat. The area is now council bungalows and high rise flats, the restored moat has now sadly drained, at one time it was full of large fish, like pike and bream.
Great blog. Really interesting.
