In the 1911 Census, Joseph Leek, occupation farmer and his family resided there, Joseph was the son of Edmund Leek, bellows maker of Upper Gornal.

Apparently the farm was located on Burton Road, perhaps just over the parish border.


Spring Farm, Clarence Street, Upper Gornal. ​

There is no indication of this ever being a 'farm' in the true sense, but a dairy where milk from local farms was processed and distributed.

The establishement no longer exists and was located where the Clarence Street Filling Station is now on Clarence Street.
