I was born and grew up right by Alcott hall. A lovely building and hard to imagine it before the council estate was built being sat alone surrounded only by fields and trees. Growing up there was a story of an underground tunnel leading from here to Sheldon hall. This must be a mile away as the crow flies so I find it hard to believe.. but it was quite the story and always wondered where it came from.
It's Grade II listed (see details below) and still standing on Berwicks Lane. Looks well looked after, especially given its state in the 1960s. It is being used as a business centre.
C18. Red brick, tiled roof with corbelled brick cornice. 2 storeys and attics, 1st floor bands, flush casement windows mainly 2 light, cambered arches to front with central doorway, 6 fielded panelled door. Lower back elevation with 2 gables.

Another old view. In the most recent years it was converted into apartments.
