Well it was certainly there 12 years ago. I used to go past the farmhouse and the windmill on my way into Sutton. I don't think it was an active farm and the windmill had no sails.

Obviously not the same farm or location

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

But wouldn't that be classed as Kirkby in Ashfield?

duckweed....... are you thinking of the windmill that was at Sutton Junction and now demolished?
are maybe the one on Prospect Place, High Pavement and now listed?.....  I thought you just might be right as there was property mid to late 1800's on High Pavement  called "Ashfield House"..... but I think like a good many they no longer exist.

Re  Ashfield House, High Pavement, Sutton in Ashfield
1881 - RG11/3315/26/page5 ..... Morgan F Hamerton, Physician & Surgeon, Ashfield House, Sutton In Ashfield
1891 - RG12/2652/22/page 4 - Robert Nesbitt,  Medical Practitioner, High Pavement, Sutton In Ashfield
1901 - RG13/3137/17/25 - Robert Nesbitt, Physician & Surgeon  ,Ashfield House, High Pavement

Robert Nesbitt, Medical Practitioner is still in Sutton on Ashfield in 1911, the house isn't named only given as High Pavement.

However, I think you are both wrong   ;D

The actual name of "Ashfield Farm" only appears on the census after 1901 but tracing the family back to 1881 and although there is variation of address, it appears they are always in the same place.

Which makes the Ashfield Farm/ House here.... http://www.rootschat.com/links/0qmd/

Putting it's postcode in search here = http://www.old-maps.co.uk/index.html  - to the right of the modern day map of the area there are the historical maps and the 1900/1901 map does show where Ashfield Farm was/ is.
