To view in stereo, sit 2-3 feet from the monitor and gently cross your eyes so that the two images become three. The one in the middle will be in 3d. If you are finding this difficult, you may be trying too hard. Viewing the large size is best.

The farm is shown on surveys as a portion of the Worthington Wright family complex and dated as of 1869. There was a date stone, but it was lost in the demolition and an ex-resident informed that it showed earlier c.1850.The farmer for 1898 was James Whitnall. The farmhouse was not large and entering from the front there was a small lobby leading directly to a stairway. Each side of the stairs was a large room, one used as a sitting room and the other a family room that had a tiled fireplace. The kitchen at the rear carried an old cooking range and the fireplace had an Inglenook seating arrangement, this was later modernised, but the seating was retained.
The second floor had four bedrooms each of a large size. The outbuildings formed a rough square that were made up from barns, shippons, and stables, some with hay lofts. Added to this was a piggery located behind the barns and a dairy complete with old flagstone flooring. It is now in the area for the Municipal golf course. In 1930 the Farm here was run by the J. Close family and remained so until it closed c.1975.
Predominately a dairy cattle farm in 1972 one of two barns caught fire endangering the whole complex there. When the Urmston purchased all of the lands attributed to the Wright Holdings in 1935, they included this farm. The orchard attached to the farm carried an abundance of apple, damson, cherry, and pear trees.

Although not originally manufactured for use a gatepost it has two lugs welded onto the sides to give it a second life. No longer required for this purpose either it now sits in a garden wall on the West side of Burnley Road, Dunnockshaw, Roseendale. These gas retorts lay horizontally, were filled with coal and then heated to produce gas and coke. Other examples can be seen in Helmshore Textile Museum.
