Does anyone know the name of the farm that was at the Bridle Lane end of Princes Avenue.

The 1938 directory,
Bridle Path,
Morris Griffiths, Plymyard Manor Farm.

Sited between Manor Rd and Kilburn Ave, where Princes Ave now is.

Thank you. As kids we used to play in the haystack.

Me too Barry - always trying to dodge Farmer Griffiths who didn't really get on with us kids. I lived in the 'new' (1960/1) houses at the Bridle Road end of Princes Avenue.

BTW: I've got just a glimpse of that haystack on the corner of an aerial view photograph c1960 - I'd post it here, but I think you need to be 'User Plus' to view photos, (and I'm guessing you aren't). I'll post it if you want me to, but it isn't 100% clear.

I don't think I ever met farmer Griffiths but we did manage to kill a few of his rats!! How do you get to be 'User Plus'?
