NINETEENTH CENTURY PRESTON

This farm formerly stood in the angle formed by New England Road and Preston Road. It was much frequented by the Prince Regent and his friends, and as it afforded pasture for the Prince’s cows, it became known as the Princes Dairy. The house was removed in 1871. The Windmill is Lashmar’s Mill, later known as Hove Mill, erected in 1780. This stood just off the Dyke Road, on the site of Belmont, and was removed in 1848 to Clayton Hill, where it still stands.
