Tyseley Farm/Hall

[Cashy]

Does anyone know when the farm dissapeared, it is shown on the 1924 Bartholomews map but gone by the 1932 map so I guess between those dates, but I would love to know more about this building and if possible any photos.
Thanks in advance
John

Are we talking about Knights Farm roughly on the junction of Knights Road and Tyseley Lane? If so I suppose it disappeared around the 1930's when they built the new estate. If this is indeed the place you are looking for then I have these two photos.

Cashy,
Scroll down past the pagan gods content and you will see some details about the farm and what happened to it.

There are a couple more photos of Knights Road on the Acocks Green history web site.

Phil - managed to find it on a 1904 map and mark it, then found modern map. Final map is 1920ish.

In addition to the Birmingham Mail's article in post, #3 the late Bill Dargue raised a question about the farm site and its possible long history. Viv

....... where the original settlement was located is open to conjecture

"South of the junction of Sunningdale Road and Ferndene Road in the Middle Ages Tyseley Hall stood within a moat. In Georgian times a successor was built as Tyseley Farm which was demolished in the 1920s. Was this where the Anglo-Saxon Tyssa originally established his claim to the land?"

When I lived in Hattersley Grove in the 40/50s, the land behind the houses at the head of the cul-de-sac was used as allotments. It was subsequently developed as Tean Close in the 70/80s. An old plan of the housing development in the 20s showed the outline of a moat where the allotments were, possibly the reason it was not developed at that time.
