Abandoned Woodbank Hall Mansion Stockport Abandoned Places

IN THIS VIDEO WE TAKE YOU ON A EXPLORE OF THE ABANDONED WOODBANK HALL MANSION IN STOCKPORT. HISTORY Woodbank Hall stands folorn and abandoned in Woodbank Park in Stockport. It isn’t in a great state of repair, Stockport council appear to have abandoned it. The Hall was built in 1812 by Thomas Harrison in the Greek revival style for Peter Marsland a local cotton manufacturer. Peter’s father, Henry started a textile mill in Bullock Smithy (now Hazel Grove) in 1770. The lack of water power meant it was hard to make a success of it, so in 1783 he leased Park Mill in Stockport. He transferred the lease to his sones in 1792, dying 3 years later. Peter made a great success of the business his steam woven woolen was praised in the press, and a piece of his cloth woven for His Majesty George IV was said by the King’s tailor to be superior to French cloth worn by the Emporer Alexander, adding that claims that England could not match the quality of French and Dutch materials “Mr Marsland has answered it, and he is proving more and more that the industry of Manchester is far from its climax He had decided to move to Woodbank after his house on Heaton Lane was attacked by Luddites so in 1812 he purchased land and a farmstead at Woodbank and had it demolished so his estate could be built. The estate surrounding the Hall was made into a typically English lanscape with natural contours and grouped trees, with steep banks down to the river Goyt, wooded with rhodedendra and bluebells.
