Tips

Catherine

August 14, 2024

In the days when the Empire was being opened up, it was the custom to name far-flung farmsteads after the places which were, in those days, on the edge of the known world. That is how North America got its name; other farms were called Quebec and Botany Bay. It is a sad ruin now, like Brookhouse Farm it was abandoned when the reservoir was built. You might notice the pockmarks in some of the stones of the broken-down walls. These caused when the ruined farm was used for target practice by troops in training

Now just a ruin, this former farmhouse was used as target practice during WW2.
