Brooklands Farm

Brooklands Farm , Blenheim. This farm comprises 308 acres of good agricultural land, and is one of the most valuable properties of its size in the district. It was first taken up in the early fifties by Messrs Tytler and Shepherd, and a few years later was bought by the late Mr. F. Williams. Since his death the farm has been equally divided into two sections, and these are worked separately by Mr. P. G. Williams and Mr. R. G. Williams respectively. Sheep grazing and the cultivation of crops, chiefly barley, oats, and clover are carried on, and the excellent condition of the sheep, and the crops produced, attest to its adaptability for both purposes.
