Remains of Errwood Hall (scan from 1990)

“Built for Samuel Grimshawe a wealthy Manchester businessman
.
The Hall was built in 1840 - 41. It is set in over 2000 acres and was pretty much self sufficient with its own greenhouses and growing areas, game, fishing, Chapel, Burial Ground, School, and a Coal Mine.

The Grimshawes were great travellers and boasted that there were 40,000 rhododendrons and azalea shrubs on the estate, many of which were brought back from tours abroad as ballast for their
yacht.”
