SJ4911 : Oakley Manor

taken 7 years ago, near to Shrewsbury, Shropshire, England

Oakley Manor
Oakley Manor
Built as his home by S Pountney Smith around 1860 and used as an Auxiliary Hospital until towards the end of the Great War when the patients were removed to larger premises at Prestfelde School, London Road. The buildings were used by Shrewsbury and Atcham Council from 1970-2000 when the council departments moved into the new Guildhall. The Manor Gardens have been developed for housing almost hiding the large Victorian building.
