Manor House Grounds, Southall

Introduction

Over the years in private ownership the grounds developed and had formal gardens, topiary, orchards, tennis and croquet lawns. Various amenities were laid out in the 1920s/30s, including new gardens, a bowling green and a cottage for the Park Superintendent. Land at the rear became the main council nursery. The overall layout has little changed although some of the features are lost, and the garden now contains a series of hedged areas, an Arts & Crafts sunken garden with pool, flower gardens and a rockery.
