Moorhead Farm

Hi all,
First time poster looking for help. I'm currently researching my family tree and have discovered that part of my family are listed as living at Moorhead farm in the early 1800s and then at Dill Hall Pit! Does anybody have any information/photos etc about these places. I think moorhead farm was where the Queens building of the school used to be on Queens Road West. All I know about Dill Hall Pit is that there used to be a ventilation shaft at the end of Queens Road West where the Telephone box was. Thanks in advance.
Chris.
The Family name was Addison.

Excellent, thanks a lot. Nice to see where the ancestors lived. I assume it was located approx where the Queens Building used to be.
