Does anyone know if there was a farm or an area called HillTop or Hill Top in the Greatham or Claxton area in the 1830's please?

Thanks,

I am not aware of Hill Top farm in Greatham or the adjoining area of Claxton, however council houses at the southside of Greatham are called Hill View. they look towards the River Tees and Cleveland Hills maybe that is the reason for their name...I visited this area as a country bobby in the 1960-1990s.
