View across the M6 to Moss Farm. I bet postmen and delivery drivers have a lot of fun round here, there are two Moss Farms and a White Moss Farm, all on the same road and within about 1.5Km of one another. "Moss" in this context was originally a contraction of "morass", meaning an area of low-lying wetland.
SJ7755 : Moss Farm Although still shown on OS maps as Moss Farm this farm was renamed Ashfields Farm back in 1967 (approx), possibly because of the suggested problems of deliveries.
At that time the farm belonged to the local authority but is now in private hands.
