A fraction of the main building can be seen to the left of the shop. The cottage once belonged to the third earl of Brownlow (1844-1921), was semi-detached and occupied by tenants. In 1929, there was only one tenant left who accepted £28 from the club to part with their tenancy and the club was subsequently able to acquire the whole property; £200 was spent to turn the ground floor into a golf professional’s shop and forge with the bedrooms for the use of club staff or for storage.
