Farm

[cazzand]

Hi,

Don't know if I am in the right place but could anybody tell me how to find out
if Blackbrook Farm on Manchester Road Heaton Norris Manchester is still standing and also the cottage next door - also if there is information or pictures of it. My ggg grandfather lived on the farm and my gg grandfather lived in the cottage on the 1881 census. I have tried a few sites but not getting anywhere - could anybody give me a few pointers in the right direction

Many thanks
Cazzand

Hi Cazzand,

The Greater Manchester records office may be worth a try.

Hi Cazzand
have you tried looking for it on an up to date ordanace survey map, the main library near you should have them, otherwise try W H Smiths could prove quite funny tying to get a sneaky look.

Hi Cazzand,
I suppose this reply is a rather late now. But just in case, have you downloaded 'google earth'. It's free. I have found it invaluable.
