View from the entrance drive. Once the suburban retreat of a wealthy textile manufacturer. It was built in 1874 (by Robert Scott), and the subsequent owner (Samuel Lamb) extended the surrounding land into landscaped gardens and tennis courts. These, in turn, were acquired by the local Council and opened to the public in the 1930s. At one time, the house was used as a convalescent home for patients from Altrincham Hospital.
