In January 1827 the freehold lands of the late Mary Stocks were auctioned. These lands were extensive and included lot 19, a close of land known as West Field Allotment and lot 20, a close of land called West Field Close, both in the occupation of Mr G. Smith. The path of Westfield Lane today is very close to that of what was West Field Lane, at the time of the 1849 surveyed and 1854 published Ordnance Survey maps. From it’s junction with what is today Barnsley Road, West Field Lane led south west through fields, towards the junction with Broad Lane and then Bradle Car Lane (now Bradley Carr Terrace).

The West Field, to the east side of West Field Lane, contained a well, a draw well and also a trough and pump. On the west side of West Field Lane was the Grimsing Plantation.

In November 1853 large areas of lands across the area were auctioned at the Chequers Inn (home of William Wilson) that were the freehold estate of the late George Booth. These included many closes of arable, pasture and meadow land, split up into lots, including lot 15, grass closes known as West Field Closes. The land was in the occupation of James Brook.

In September 1867 an auction of various plots of land and buildings took place by Messrs. Waite and Crouch, at the Chequers Inn, found within the West Field Lane area. Lot 1 was bounded on the north west by West Field Lane and contained a farm house, cow houses, stables, gardens, crofts and orchards. Lot 2 and lot 3 were parcels of grass land known as West Field, bounded to the north west by West Field Lane. The lots were part of a wider estate occupied by a tenant farmer known as Frederick Beaumont, who had agreed to end his tenancy and vacate the estate by the following February. The buildings said to be in “good repair” and the arable land “in a high state of cultivation.”
