[1] You're right to say that it was once called "Farthing Corner".

[2] I'm not sure when, though. Does anyone know?


The name Farthing Corner was in use when it was under construction about
1962.

Don't know how long the name lasted, but that is what I still think of it
as.

My ever first day at work (with PO Telephones) was there when it was just a
sea of mud!

The name is quite old, it appears on the 1870 OS map as a junction of paths
between Farthing Wood and Ryetop Wood.
