Farm in Sandwich
« on: Saturday 18 April 20 13:30 BST (UK) »
Hello.
I used to live in Sandwich in the 1960’s, and my dad farmed at New Downs Farm, Sandwich. I’ve come across an Old Downs Farm, does anyone know if it is the same Farm? , any connection? Names of owners?  Any information would be gratefully received!
Thank you
Carol.

Thanks Kay99
I’ve been wondering about that for a long time!
