Aston Hall

A charming 1840 view of the Hall and gate. I think the ladies are travelling along what became Witton Lane.
A smashing set of photos of the Hall and ground floor plans from an article in Country Life in 1953. The aeriel view from Aston Church is a rare view which includes the gate. These accompanied a very long article which, if anyone is interested, I can post in sections.

Magnificent photos to be sure, brings back so many memories visiting there (the park) as a child.

Absolutely, my older sister took me there in the early 50’s. We walked there. No buses or cars!
