A quick Google search unearthed some info on Balshagray Farm - near the bottom of the page and reproduced here.
Balshagray Farm
In the web-page http://www.wsmclean.com/bygones photograph No. 7 shows Balshagray Farm with some associated notes. This was High Balshagray Farm which operated many of the fields south of what is now the railway line. As more and more houses were built on the farmlands, the farmhouse was finally demolished in 1928. Until St Thomas Aquinas School was built in the 1950’s, that site was the only field left undeveloped and untended except for a few years during the Second World War when it was cultivated again as part of the War Effort.
There was also a Low Balshagray Farm located just east of what is now the Fossil Grove but most of its lands were taken over for the development of the Victoria Park.
