Jordan’s Farm, Hills Road
History of Jordan's Farm
Mid nineteenth century maps show Jordan’s Farm around this location. The farmyard was roughly where Morley School is today and was reached along a track which is today Blinco Grove. On the north side the farm stretched as far as Rathmore Road, and on the south, as far as Cavendish Avenue.
The farm is clearly shown on the 1830 & 1836 OS map of Cambridge though unnamed.
