well i was looking forward to reading about the history of crows nest farm and eastmoor pops up again. in the post its said the houses that back onto the hill were built for the owners son, is the 'farm house' not original then? how old is the place? ive also come across this about the hill at the back known as windmill hill, does anyone know more?

The earthwork by Beeston Primary School known as Windmill Hill is, by it’s shape and the way it ties in with the other man-made and early earthworks that run along the top of Beeston ridge rising up from the Elland Road Football Stadium, likely to be Norman in origin or more likely earlier. Two Roman roads intersected just where the Ring Road and B&Q now meld together, and it is unlikely that the Roman command would leave such a naturally defensible rise of earth be enhanced and utilised by any opposition.
