History of 13 Madras Road

1919 15/8/1919 Ernest & Millie Southerhill charged with damaging crop of sainfoin (CC BNA CIP).

Ernest and Millie Southerhill’s, and Frederick Brand’s, damaging of sainfoin, then a widely- planted form of green manure which also produced excellent hay, may have taken place on the fields south of the old Newmarket rail line – fields which would be turned to housing in the 1930s. Why would they be damaging a crop? Was there a picnic on private land? (See Madras Road Report)
