radfordred 6,284 Posted December 18, 2011 Report Share Posted December 18, 2011 Is that where Sat Bains Restaurant is now ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
taxi ray 170 Posted December 18, 2011 Report Share Posted December 18, 2011 I think it is where the university playing fields are, they are a bit further down the river than sat bains, it is called Grove Farm now, as that was the original name of the farm, Pelican used to play there matches there as well. Apparently the prince of Wales bought the farm in order to entertain his lady friends. They wouldn't bother trying to hide such behaviour nowadays. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
plantfit 7,630 Posted December 18, 2011 Report Share Posted December 18, 2011 Come over Clifton bridge from the Clifton side of the river, turn immediately left and double back on yourself follow the track that is/was there and the farm house is/was at the end of the track on the right, more or less in front of that concrete warf opposite where the Fairham brook enters the river Rog Quote Link to post Share on other sites
