Introduction
A house with extensive gardens and pleasure grounds occupying about 5 hectares.
Originally the house had extensive gardens and pleasure grounds to the south with a hot-house. Beyond this was an artificial semi-circular waterfall. The bridge over the waterfall led to the roads to Aston and Fairfield.
The buildings have been developed and altered and the park survives as open space.
- History
The print works to the west were built by Messrs Robinson and Hulme and the house occupied by J W Hulme. The site remained essentially the same throughout the 19th century although there was a certain amount of development of the ponds to the west, probably in association with the print works.
