Grange Farm

Grange Farm is shown on the Ordnance Survey First Edition map as a linear range of buildings on the west side of Stockton Road, just south of the point where it crosses the line of the NER Penshaw Branch (HER2659). The southernmost building in the range is labelled as a 'Warehouse' on the 1:500 town plan, suggesting that the agricultural function of the farm was reducing. To the southeast lay 'The Grange' and the attached 'Grange School'. In the mid 19th century the area was gradually being developed for housing and Grange Farm had gone by the late 19th century.
