There were two Larkfield Houses, one at this location near Larkfield Mills, in the vicinity of the present Sundrive Post Office, and another to the north, in the vicinity of the present 52 Sundrive Road. The northern one appears to have been demolished around the 1890s. It is possible that some of the people listed here lived at the northern one.
