Hi Kopperknob,
This site is really good (though sadly it doesn't help you in this particular case, but might come in useful later):
www.geograph.org.uk
I came across it when I was looking for a farm in Worcestershire.
I suppose the farm might have changed name during it's history. You don't mention a rough date as to when the house/farm esixted.
If it has changed it's name you will be able to find the farm/house on an old map, and hopefully find the new name on a more recent one. The good thing about the above site is it gives map references.
If you still can't find your house/farm you could try phoning the local library to see if they might have something in their local history collection.
Sorry I can't be of more help.
Good luck.
Kind Regards,
Paulene.

Thank you for your replies the year i am interested in is the 1800's my family owned/ran it (not confirmed which yet) but i know it later turn from farm to house, which my family owned.

Thanks for the website.

Try the library local to the house, I never cease to be amazed at what maps and other information they hold, and what verbal information that they can offer.

I used to go past it when I lived in Kirkby in Ashfield. There was a clothing factory near it, so I often travelled there.  I remember there being a windmill (this is about 9 years ago. The farmhouse was in good nick too. I expect there must be even modern photos of it. Perhaps if you look for the windmill you might find it.

Are you referring to Ash farm in Sutton in Ashfield which was where the site of the current  Ashfield Comprehensive school is ?

That depends on when the Comp was built and where it is. I haven't been to Ashfield for about 12 years.

Hi, if you remember it 12 years ago, it is not the same farm.

Ash Farm was  demolished  about 40 years ago. It was a farm dating back to the  mid/early 1800s situated between Kirkby
and Sutton in Ashfield
