Description
Jarrow Red House, later Redhouse Farm, is shown on the Ordnance Survey First Edition map as a series of buildings arranged around a courtyard with a gin-gang on the west side and an additional range of buildings extending eastwards and forming part of a second courtyard. A pond may be shown to the north. By the late 19th century the land to the north had been extensively developed for new housing, but the farm survived until the mid 20th century. The site has been redeveloped as a primary school.
