More about this scene

This view shows the visitor's entrance below the oriel window (left) and the single-storey gunroom next to it. The adjacent bay-windowed section contained the library below and Lady Daresbury's bedroom above. The three-storey wing (partially hidden by the tree) included the housekeeper's room and the butler's pantry. It was largely demolished in the late 1970s apart from the clock tower.

I went to the park as a little girl as I lived at the public house the Walton Arms where I was born. I watched the dual carriageway being built, behind the pub. My grandfather worked at the Walton Hall with the horses and carriages, and another relation was a maid in the hall, I have got photos somewhere.
