I used to call them the cow fields :)

They were called the cow fields on higher lane, they belonged to Alma Farm where they kept quite a few pigs.I also remember one of the Glovers (Philip I think) on Alma hill used to work on the farm. Baxters lived in one part and the Unsworth family rented the other main house.This was through the sixties/seventies.
