Haunch Lane Farm Kings Heath.

RobertS said:
Hello folks

I'm looking for any reference to Haunch Lane Farm in Kings Heath.

My interest is from the 1880's through to the interwar years when the land was developed for housing.

I know from census returns that the farm was developed from the 1890s/1900's to be a Market Garden under Charles Lyons who was apparently also a Greengrocer.

As the farm could still have been there in the 1920's does anyone have any photo's or memories?

Thanks

There used to be horses in the fields between Hollybank lane and the common and farm buildings at the top of the rise from what is now Chessetts Grove and the couple off shops off the whstscess lane.
