re the posts back in 2007 about Aberdeen Farm - does anyone know any history about the previous Aberdeen Farm which was a bit further North nearer Aberdeen Bridge? Moved because of the opencast perhaps? On the first OS map in 1845 this was shown as "Ashtons" and in my wife's family history there is a Robert Ashton who lived at "Jacksons House" which was perhaps the same place?? In 1770 Richard Clayton left "Jacksons" and "Sharrocks" (by Weavers Bridge) in his will. Any information to fill the gaps very weclome.
