SE2634 : Rear of the Mansion in Gotts Park

taken 9 years ago, near to Headingley, Leeds, England

Rear of the Mansion in Gotts Park
Rear of the Mansion in Gotts Park
Originally built in 1781 as Armley House for Thomas Woolrick, the mansion was remodelled in 1810-1820 by Robert Smirke for Benjamin Gott, after whom the surrounding park is now named. The house is grade 2 listed (list entry 1256386) as the earliest "Greek revival" building in Yorkshire. The Greek influence is more evident in this rear view than the front SE2634 : Front of the Mansion in Gotts Park. It is now the clubhouse of the community-run golf club SE2634 : Gotts Park golf course.
Armley Park / Gotts Park, Leeds :: SE2733

A large open area among the otherwise densely built up area to the west of Armley, on the top of the scarp slope of Airedale. The western end is shown as Gotts (or Gott's) Park on maps, and the more formal gardens at the eastern end as Armley Park, but these names seem to be used interchangeably in local usage.

Between them is a golf course, formerly run by Leeds City Council but now a private operation, which uses the grade 2 listed Mansion as its clubhouse. In the middle is Redcote Lane that runs down to the River Aire and Leeds-Liverpool Canal.
