The land was part of Crab Mill Farm, farmed by a Mr ? Jones, Mill House, Mill Lane. In about the 1940s, Kingsley Hughes, son of Alec Hughes, coal merchant in Mill Lane in 40s - 70s, took over the farm. In the early 60s, his daughter and her husband, Vivienne and Joe Lawton took over the farm and lived at Mill House and paddock.

Of course, this land is now covered in roads and houses.
