If you haven't visited yet the following might help. The south end of Botteslow Street meets Leek Road where if you turn right for 50 yards you will see Trentmill Road on the opposite side. The name gives a clue to it's past, as at the bottom of the road was on old flint mill (now demolished) powered by the River Trent. The river here is more of a stream than a river. At the bottom of Trentmill Road there is an unmade track which goes over the river bridge, then under the railway bridge, before climbing a hill. The land on the left was part of the farm, and at the top of the track there is a T junction and the farmhouse entrance was located to the left. I believe that the farm originally formed part of the Berryhill Colliery estate prior to nationalisation in 1947. The colliery closed in 1962 and the site is now an industrial estate. I guess that the farmhouse was demolished in the 1970's when it was occupied by 2 unmarried brothers whose surname was Shufflebottom.
