The Chestnuts
Used to be a dairy.
The Chestnuts off Cozens Hardy Road used to be Dixons Milk Bottling Plant. Amanda Hunt tells us
"When they were building the new houses my mum Dawn Waller (nee Dixon) visited and builders asked her about a smell where they'd removed the weeping willow tree. My mum said that when the bottling was completed they would hose the machinery down and the water would flow down the yard. As the ground was so wet the weeping willow tree was planted to soak it up. As the run off contained milk it also soaked into the soil.
So for the smell to still be there 30 plus years after the diary stopped bottling I'd hate to think what it's like now!!"
Shaun Musgrove also tells us
"Lee used to run Louis bike and lawnmower repairs and there was wallys car repairs around the back.
There was a large field which had a horse on it and i think a couple of goats.
