Below is a image of the 1833 map of part of The Paddock.

It shows a property (350/351 on the Tythe map) but the later map 1890 does not show a property at this location. It would seem that there were 3 properties at Bleakemoor Gate and 1 at Bleakmoor Flat and one (pehaps 2) at The Paddock. The one or two at The Paddock had soon been abaondoned by 1847 when they were rented by John Price and noted as arable on the Tythe Map.
