- There is a field near our house called the Lamb Park. They used to keep a lot of lambs in it long ago. That is how it got its name. There is another place called Red John's. There was two Flanagan's one was called the Black Flanagan's and the other was called the Red Flanagan's. That is how it got its name Red John's. But there is no one living in it now. Red John went to America. The old house fell in. He died in America.
