Daisy Dairy
Does anyone know if the Dairy at West End (Oswaldtwistle) was built on farmland?
There are houses on the site now. If it was not farmland what occupied that site previous to the Dairy? wont2no |

Re: Daisy Dairy
I don't know for sure, but I imagine that originally it would have been farmland.
I can just about remember the ruins of a farm on Aspen Lane that owned the fields that is now the housing estate that stretches down nearly to Blackburn Road.

Re: Daisy Dairy
....although the land the Daisy Dairy stood on is very near to Stanhill Ring Mill, so it may originally have been owned by them.
My bet is that the land would have been agricultural, as much of it was, both pre and post the industrial revolution.
