My gr uncle Fearon Vickers used to farm this place in the 1930s . I wonder if anyone may have a photo of it?

Thank you so much for all this info .

I can now understand how my mother said the place was so isolated
It also brings myu family history to life.

PS The photo attached to my info is of my grandfather John William Vickers, half brother to Fearon who lived at The Dash Farm.

Thanks JenB, that site is really useful to me in researching my family in the UK! Funny that when I Googled local names that site never appeared. Best wishes for the New Year from Canada, Lumber-Jack
