Also, any further information would be greatly appreciated. My grandfather died when my mom was 4 so we don't have much. You dont give a lot away to help with, but if it was Park Farm on Dewsbury Road then its on Leodis, top left on this page.
Is this the end of the story ...or the beginning of a legend?

I apologize for the lack of information but I don't have any more other than being told that the house may have been torn down to make way for a highway.

Only just seen this on the board, it is Park Farm in Seacoft, now the site of Aldi.The poster has been in contact directly as the Townsend s at Park Farm appear in my family tree not too far back and Mrs C has been in touch recently sending some family info to her - no reply as yet though.
