Hazel Farm, early 1900’s
Hazel Farm has the same entrance as Hazel House but stands to the rear and towards the east. The front of the house faces due south. At this time it was occupied by the Cockroft family.
Later occupied by Mr. Beilby, when he was bailiff for the Briggs’. The next generation of the Beilby’s had the farm as tenant farmers under Mexboroughs when Briggs gave up their farming interests. Ledger Burton farmed there in the 1940s and later members of the Lodge family farmed there.
