Townend Farm

Dated: c.1920
Taken by: Unknown

Main image is of the farm buildings taken from Moor Street looking towards Borrowash Road (now Stoney Lane). The farm house is out of shot to the right. All these buildings have been swepy away except for the farm house which still stands on the corner of Moor Street and Stoney Lane. The houses seen on Borrowash Road are also still there. Images courtesy of Pam Summers (née Cope). The next few images are of the farm yard and fields and include Pam's uncle Ernest Cope feeding the sheep. In the background can be seen the houses on Moor Street. The last image is a view from Moor Street across the fields to the cemetery where the Mortuary Chapel can be seen.
