Where Is This ?

Another of Hirst Heads Farm., Who is he.

See if anyone can give names as there are none on the pics saying who anyone is.

Get some more up for weekend.

This might be Wades farm with the tracks behind, we used to potatoe pick this field and when Wade took a load back to the barn we would drag sacks o tetties to the engineer on the train and sell them, made more than Wades wages

Hirst Head Farm, Bedlington

There was a murder here when i believe a Miss Swann had her throat cut about 1911 i think.

Will get the story put together for you all.

Miss Swann is in my family tree. My grandfather, John Carr-Swann, ran Hirst Head Farm in the 1930s. Any information would be gratefully read. Years ago, I visited when a lovely family with three boys had converted the farmhouse beautifully, I meant to stay in touch & wonder if they are still there. I have just joined this site so any contacts/info would be great.

Was the Hirst Head Farm Wade's ? If it was the ploughman in the picture could be a Wade , or one someone who worked for them

My grandfather, John Carr-Swann, had Hirst Head Farm, before that it was Mr Swann who farmed it. Mr Swann had married John’s mother.
