Manor House, West Auckland
Image: © Stanley Howe Taken: 5 Feb 2019
A 1420AD manor, facing the village's West Green and a Victorian Jubilee 'pant' erected in 1897. For most of the twentieth century there was a famed 'West Auckland Brewery' in the outbuildings behind the manor, but by the millennium the brewery had been sold on to a Newcastle based firm and the C15 manor house had become a hotel with the outbuildings being converted to a health spa and extra guest accommodation.
