His widow and here eldest daughter continued to live in two of the houses (the upper and middle houses which I think are 1 and 2) and the third part was intermittently rented out. My grandmother died in the early 1960s and the house was then sold to a developer who then redeveloped the site. As I recall the gardens were about 4 acres stretching beyond the sunken road which crossed the site (and may still) - there was a dangerous,rusty metal bridge over the road which we were strictly told not to cross, so of course we did. I have a photo of the house in the background to a photo of my grandmother and a class of children from the 1950s (she ran a sort of playgroup/nursery school in here later years).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-704095971276575721.post-71004221004104178502016-11-16T15:13:07.728+00:002016-11-16T15:13:07.728+00:00Hi Mark, enjoyed reading about the Armitages of Mi...Hi Mark, enjoyed reading about the Armitages of Milnsbridge and High Royd. A few bits of anecdotal info: I grew up in the Berry Brow and Honley areas in the 1950s to 1970s. My dad was a Farm Manager on the farm owned by the then owner of High Royd and we lived on the farm until the owner sold up and retired to Scotland to salmon fishing (or so I recall my Dad saying) I don't know the owners name but my Dad referred to him by a military rank, possibly Colonel. We then moved to Berry Brow whilst I was still a pre-school nipper. Deadmanstone House was still occupied then by a Miss or Misses Wells who ran a pre-school prep there. I went a few times but not regularly. As I got older I recall exploring the grounds of Deadmanstone House which were a bit neglected and overgrown. I think Berry Brow events were sometimes held in the gardens for a short time in the early 60s. I remember there was a rotting carcass of a pre-war car in the grounds which we used to play in. Berry Brow was extensively redeveloped in the 60s and Deadmanstone House was demolished and its grounds developed as a smallish housing development called, I think, Wain Park, which was accessed from Bridge Street under the railway bridge or from Deadmanstone lane itself.
