Description: | October 1968. This is the entrance to the farmyard at Upper Rooms Farm, Rooms Lane. The actual farmhouse would be off to the right of the picture. The buildings shown on the photograph are all farm buildings, the oldest one being at the left by the roadside, which was originally a barn. Notice the small holes in the wall at the triangular top part of the gable end. These are old dovecotes from the time when pigeons formed a small part of the diet in the countryside. These farm buildings were knocked down in the 1990s and new housing built on the majority of the farmland. Upper Rooms farmhouse still remains with entry from the gateway shown here. Vehicular entrance for all the other houses built on the farmland is from Sandmead Close off Victoria Raoad.
