Perry Hall Home Farm Perry Mill Farm
- Thread starter Two
- Start date
Obviously a dairy farm. A neighbouring business in the background has a sign (through the trees) which I think might read: "Andrew's Floors". Just a guess.
The farm is shown (yellow dot) on the map below, alongside the Old Millrace. Not very far away from Birchfield Road and Wellington Road. Perry Hall is in the top left corner of the map.

"Description:View of the Home Farm, Perry Hall, Perry Barr, from a postcard postmarked 4th August 1913. Formerly known as Perry Mill Farm, the name was changed when the farm was rebuilt around 1900. Immediately behind the cows the farmhouse itself can be seen."
