L3350 Worsley Hall Gardener's Cottage
Worsley, Greater Manchester
7 cm High (2.7 ins) 9 cm Wide (3.5 ins) 6.5 cm Deep (2.5 ins)
Our gardener's cottage has been inspired by a Grade-II-Listed building located in the grounds of what is now the Worsley Hall Garden Centre at Worsley, near Manchester, and our scene includes a lovely red wheelbarrow for the gardener to keep everything tidy.
This distinctive building was built in 1834 for the head gardener of Worsley Hall - hence the name we have given it! - and is a charming example of picturesque estate architecture. It is constructed from rock-faced stone and boasts a wonderfully mellow slate roof, but by far its most impressive feature has to be the three-storey octagonal tower with its splendid curved roof.
Worsley has always benefited from good trade routes - a Roman road from Manchester to Wigan passed through the village, and with the Industrial Revolution came the Bridgewater canal, built in the eighteenth century by the engineer, Brindley, for Francis, Third Duke of Bridgewater.
