    1. [ENG-DUR-SUNDERLAND] Halfway House, Grangetown
    2. ROB SHEPHERD
    3. Another query if I may... Old maps of Grangetown, Sunderland c. 1865 show a Ryhope Cottage and Halfway House on the area which would later become Grange Farm and Ocean Road. Does anyone have access to any old directories from this time, or have any further information about these? Was the Halfway House a Toll House? And where was it halfway between (?Sunderland and Ryhope) Grangetown also appeared to have several farms "Ryhope Grange Farm" and "Grange Farm" - was one a annexe of the other or separate concerns and when did they cease as working farms? An how about the various corn mills - "Stoup Mill" and "Ryhope Mill" - does anyone know when these were built and ended their working life? Thanks again, Rob
