The centre of Holmes Chapel (or Church Hulme as it was then called) suffered a great fire in 1753 that destroyed many buildings including those on this site. They were rebuilt later in the century; the building that now houses Gascoigne Halman, Estate Agents bears the date 1798 and the initials TBH (Thomas Bayley Hall of the Hermitage, who paid for most of the rebuilding).
