It is hard to realise that the sheep were grazing in a field fronting Denmark Villas, but such was the case in 1874, when this photograph was taken. The land formed part of Rigden’s Farm, which was then in process of being broken up, prior to the building of Church Road, The Drive and Wilbury Road among others. These houses 1-15, on the east side were not erected until 1876. The original photograph, of which this is a copy, was very old and faded which accounts for the poor reproduction.
