The dairy farm above belonged to my fathers family between 1790's - early 1900's. I have received a sketch of it from the Public Library in Surrey but wondered what was built on the site now. I live in North Wales and wondered whether anyone in the Surrey area knows please or can give me advice where to go for the information. According to the detail on the sketch the dairy farm was in North Sheen near Eastend Queens Road in Richmond Surrey.

Faith, your friends in the Richmond Local Studies Library should be able to tell you that.

If not, I work five minutes walk away from Queens Road and I will have a look when I return to work next week.

I can take a picture of the site if you wish but I don't think it will be of much value to you.

Here's the location:
