It looks like it was a simply farm operation located between London and the once nearby town of Lambeth. Today the boarded up farm home and the abandoned farm are inside the city limits as it the town of Lambeth.
In Ontario it is claimed that something in the order of 175 acres of farmland are taken out of service every day. Homes, apartments, strip malls, parking lots and streets replace the crops.
As another poster to this group pointed out recently, the population explosion seems to be fading, birth rates are falling and the need for a lot of new homes and apartments may be coming to an end. The loss of farmland to growing cities may become a feature of the past.
