The History of the Farm

Leyland Farm is located on Shudehill Road in the ‘New Manchester’ area of Worsley, Manchester. It dates back to the 17th century when it was first built as a farmhouse. The area surrounding the farmhouse became known for its mining heritage, with several coal mines operating nearby during the 19th and early 20th centuries.

The farm has undergone several refurbishments and additions over the years, including several barns and stables being added since the late 18th century. Most recently, the farm has been used to grow crops and rear livestock.

The area around Leyland Farm remains an important part of Manchester's industrial and mining heritage, with several mining-related landmarks and museums located nearby. The Worsley Delph, a canal tunnel that was used to transport coal from the mines, is now a popular tourist attraction and is located just a short distance from Leyland Farm.

In recent years, Leyland Farm has taken on a new lease of life. A ‘young’ family took over the Farm in 2021 and is steadily transforming the space into an Urban Homestead. They have self sufficient dreams and enthusiasm in abundance. The farm still retains many of its historic features, including exposed brickwork and wooden beams. They plan to retain as many original features as possible while converting the space into a more modern farm dwelling fit for a busy farm and family life.
