The Knox brothers decided to use the stone from the demolished Millhouse Farm to repare the foundations of the road and houses. Because some of the houses stood on the quarry site it means that the stone had been returned to its original place after 160 years. During the demolishing of the farm there were some interesting finds. It was the custom in days gone by for the builders to place new coins in the walls and roofs of their constructions. In the old farm, six George III pennies dating 1799 to 1803, were found.
