Dairy Farm in Rate Books 1916-17.jpeg

The Rate Book entry for the Dairy Farm in 1916-17 appears on the same page as the entry for Warren Street, which, because of its connection to my family, is why I photographed it. It confirms that there was also a piggery involved, as I think gw mentions.

Places shown in this photo:

Happy Valley Racecourse [1846- ]

The very recognizable figure of Sir Paul Catchick Chater can be seen leading his horse. My recollection is that Chater's horses were usually called "---- Dahlia" and that the "Rose" stable belonged to another prominent owner. The names of horses were usually changed when they changed owners. <Read more ...>
