Description: | September 1965. The area of low buildings behind the tall ones at the Springfield Lane end of Springfield Mills was much larger than obvious from the road, while the extent of the farmland behind them was even greater. Mostly, this was farmed by the Lindley brothers, who grew mainly cereals and field vegetables (e.g. cauliflowers, cabbage etc.) By the middle of the 1990s, Hield Brothers, the owners of Springfield Mills, were negotiating to try to sell all this land for building purposes and after having had one application turned down their second attempt was successful, so a large housing estate was developed.
