Farms in Leeds

There's a couple of old farm buildings in Newlaithes as well. These days they're surrounded by newer houses but it's pretty obvious which ones they are on Google maps. Hall Park has been a park for quite some time (before the ring road was built it used to go all the way down to New Road Side) but the area bordered by Featherbank Lane, Park Side and New Road Side was fields and I think there was a small hamlet around the 11th Earl/Toby Inn. A lot of buildings around there were torn down for the ring road (including the whole of Rose St which had only been built about 20 years earlier).

Not that on it's the old people's home. It's been much modified over the years, so that even by late victorian times it was more residence thatn farm.http://goo.gl/maps/H8R5D

If I remember rightly, Crows Nest Farm in Beeston is still standing - Not sure how much more of it still? Not far from Elland Road and seems to have a history - http://www.secretleeds.com/forum/Messag ... adID=3565I am pretty sure I have read somewhere that the barn/outhouses are a good few hundred years old.
