Farms on Dodworth High Street


Many years ago there were farms on the High Street. Three or more farms existed.

One was at the top of Jermyn Croft - it was known as Senior's Farm.

Next, going down the hill, on the left, was Pashley's Farm - some of the buildings still stand - it is almost opposite the former 'pop' factory.

Just below Pashley's Farm, also on the left, was John Barrett's Farm. This is now the site of a housing development.

What do you know about these farms?
Do you know who lived in the farmsteads?
Do you know what was farmed there?
Do you know who worked there?
Do you know when they were in operation as farms?

Answers to the above and any other information will be warmly received.
