Guest Trefcon Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 The owner has been told that this was the name of the farm, but he is not 100% sure, anyone confirm this? This end part attached to the cottage was where the 'beast's' were kept. Interior of the 'beast' house, with original timbers. This shows the original hay loft floor. Finally the farm's barn.

Guest Annes Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 Do you know the name of the family who used to farm here in years past, assuming it was known as Whitehouse Farm then? Thanks, Anne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sando Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 Hi Trefcon I have just noticed all the old registration plates in the barn roof, where are they all from, how far back do they date,, why are they there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Trefcon Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 Hi Sando, i've not spotted those before! The guy who lives there has a small transport concern operating from the yard, so i assume they're from some of his old vehicles? Dean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A-ha! My partner is a Greaves and his family farmed Whitehouse Farm at Ecclesfield since the year dot, it seems. His grandfather moved away as a young man to farm in our area. It's quite exciting for him to see these pictures as we've not been able to find any photos previously, although we had found the family trees. Interesting stuff! Thanks for that! Anne :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patriot1944 Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 My Grandfather was born there in 1871 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest myederts Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 My husband's grandfather was also born in 1871 at White house Farm - we must be related. His Father was Richard David Greaves. Why the Greaves family left Whitehouse Farm we do not know but the family who ran the transport business were called Singleton. Arthur, your grandfather, was bought a farm on Yew Lane as a wedding present, or so we believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest myederts Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 John Tofield Greaves was my uncle although I never met him. as far as I was aware he moved to Leeds where he died. He had two sons Alan and Robert I think, one of whom is farming in Australia? This is as much history as I know.
