According to Wikipedia, the farthing ceased in 1960.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Farthing_(British _coin)
It ceased on midnight December 31st 1960. The border between 1960 and 1961. So it was legal tender in 1960 but not in 1961.
Wikipedia says:

"The farthing ceased to be legal tender after 31 December 1960"

That reads as January 1st 1961 in my opinion.
wikipedia is not alwys a reliable source as ny idiot can create and edit entries.
