This is what Donald Anderson says in his book on "The Life and Times at Haigh Hall".....".....the present representative of the family David Robert Alexander Lindsay, and descendant of the Bradshaighs, still owns Home Farm, the principal farm on the Haigh Estate and all the minerals under the whole of the former estate, with the exception of coal (which belongs to the National Coal Board) i.e. he owns all the sandstone, shale, fireclay, sand and gravel etc." The book is dated 1991.

Julie, the farmhouse and farm buildings are still there.
Most of the pictures I have posted recently are about twenty to twenty five years old.
