Footpath across a field to Thornton Park Farm, Soyland

This path, now invisible, was, on the 1850 map, the first part of a track to a quarry, and Thornton Park Farm did not exist. By the 1893 map the farm had been built and the footpath is shown along the edge of a field ending at the farm. The field boundary has gone and the right-of-way now goes to the left end of the house and down the driveway to Ash Hall Lane. I didn't bother walking the path, so can't say whether there is a stile into the garden.
