Where is this farm?

[Rumba]

Blimey that PC is fantastic I almost cried. Our house is in between Bridge End and Tenter Row, there is a small roof just visible (old garden shed) I believe that was the garden of tenter row. Yes the lady at Lyvennt has kennels still. I don't know if you are aware that there has been a calendar of CR and MM for the past couple of years but this year we have exhausted our photograph supplies and if you have some that we may not have used it would be absolutely fantastic for you to scan some for us.
Perhaps you could email them to me. I am wondering if you may know my family Robertson, Dawson, Savage.

Hi Rumba,

Glad you liked the photo. Send me a personal message with your email address and I'll send you more.

I forgot to mention that my grandparents & g grandparents also lived at Tenter Row. My mum's cousin Richard Johnson has now sold the property. My mum was born there.

Regards,

Gillian

Hi Lilianj51,

Yes it is the same farm! My great grandmother Margaret Ellwood & my gg grandmother Isabella Ellwood were born there. My ggg grandfather John Ellwood was a tenant farmer at Blasterfield. My mum says her gran, Margaret Ellwood, said that she walked to school in Crosby Ravensworth and would be met by her grandfather on her way back home were she would leave the road to take a short cut through the fields. No wonder people were a lot more physically fit then!

Do you have a photo of the farm? I have one but from the road. The farm is quite a way back.

Regards,

Gillian

Gillian I'm sorry to hijack your thread but I was wondering if you or Lilian know where Stannerstones is .... or was.  My gran was born there and I think it's near Great Asby but I've Googled it and only come up with a derelict farm building.

Was it a farm or an area?

Thanks and sorry again
Jean
