The site in question is, roughly, the location of the buildings slightly left of centre, that is, the ones behind the left-hand end of the fence. The farm was shown here on the first-edition OS map (surveyed in 1860) and on later maps throughout much of the twentieth century. The viewpoint is from the point where a track first enters a built-up area, which is part of Broomhill Crescent (Image), in the Beechwood and Wheatcroft Estate. For a view in the opposite direction from the same point on the track, see Image Followed in that direction, it leads to the current location of Image; see that picture for further comments.
