This is a view of the rear of the hall. Ford Green Hall is a farmhouse, the initial building stated in 1624 and now a historic house museum. It is the only timber-framed yeoman farmer's house still surviving in Stoke-on-Trent. As of 2011 the Hall is under threat of closure as the local authority needs to make economies due to the financial climate. There plans for it to be taken over locally.
