Brief Description
Springfield had a house with a garden and small park. The site was bounded by a lane to the north, Bolton Road to the east and open fields on all other sides. The site is part of a group of similar sites in this area including High Field House and Pendlebury House. Like its neighbours, the house and its garden were cut through by the development of the Pendleton and Hindley Line in the latter half of the 19th century and the whole area went into decline. The site is now lost. It is open ground with a disused sewage works and similar buildings.
