On my trip to Manchester and its environs I could not find the farm Tetlows - I suspect probably because it no longer exists! However, because of the foot and mouth restrictions I was not able to use the footpaths in the area which would have taken me closer and was restricted to the main roads instead.

The photo on the left was taken from Thornham Road between High Crompton and Narrow Gate Brow, at the head of the footpath which should lead south, down to Tetlows. In the distance, beyond the caravan park can be seen Oldham. The photo on the right is taken from Fir Lane, with Narrow Gate farm on the right (where the caravans are parked) looking northwards up to Thornham Road. The white house on the ridge is where I took the photo on the left.

History

Tetlows is near Narrow Gate and classified as being in Thornham. Bill Dowdell believes that the Tetlows who lived here did not stay very long. Nothing is known about them except for the odd entries in the bishops transcripts for St. Mary, Oldham.
