Hoghton Farms list 1918 - 2018
Herbert Miller-Crook, my uncle, with his super-power memory (despite being 92 year's old!), has very kindly composed a list of all the farms he remembers in Hoghton, Brindle and Samlesbury. No doubt, his wife, Maj (née Smalley) herself a farmer's daughter, from Causeway and Ward o'th Hill Farms, has also assisted him in this epic work! Thank you!

Highfield farm on Weasle lane was last farmed by John Wilmer and his wife Jackie, nee Rawlinson. Worked for John and Jackie for many years during school holidays and weekends, and even afterwards at Xmas plucking turkeys etc.Jackie was a fantastic cook, John has sadly passed.
