I have since found out that the farm has been in situ since, at latest 1855, maybe even earlier as there is a listed building on site, which is part of the main farm buildings. It has a date plaque on it stating the year.

If that is the case then I would be swayed towards thinking that there used to be workers cottages/lodgings on site, which in time have all been knocked down in order for the farm to expand.

Thank you! I came to Irby last week to see my great great grandparents gravestone and have a wander. It’s a beautiful place and it was quite moving to be there after all my research about them.
Thanks again for your help.
Helen

Helen,
It is an ‘Old Maps’ (from 1887) overlay on GE, but it doesnt show any cottages, unless they were either on the farm that is shown on the map that is still there nowadays, OR cottages may have been destroyed to make way for the farmstead, considering they lived at Number 39, that means a large number of cottages have disappeared.

According to a few of the later maps, that is the only area actually IN Irby Upon Humber that is known as Irby Dales, so it could only have been in the immediate area.

Hope this helps.
