Our Beginnings

After the 1,101 larch trees where chopped down for use in pits, railway and telegraph poles Sir Edward Samuel walker purchased the land to turn it into the farm and pig farm.
The Oliver brothers purchased 1 acre of land to open up a petrol filling station in 1926 which is now the Sainsburys.
