Site of Dove Farm
These stables off Green Lane are on the site of Dove Farm.
Dove Farm, built in 1675 and enlarged in 1781, was said to be haunted by hounds.
Sadly the farm was demolished in the 1970s.

How sad. It lasted for 300 years, but could not survive the last 30.
Very sad to lose such a historied place. The hounds should have haunted the demolition crew.
Darryl and Ruth : )
