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.
