Clough Hall

Clough Hall, Kidsgrove c.1904

Clough Hall was built by John Gilbert around 1800. There were around twenty bedrooms and most were fitted with magnificent mahogany panelling. The Kinnersley family bought the Hall in 1817 and stayed there until 1874. In 1890, Clough Hall was opened as a public pleasure park and became known as the "Paradise of the Potteries". It was famed for its ornate gardens and summer fetes, with many dare-devil rides. In 1905 the pleasure park closed , but the Hall still held some local attractions up until 1914. During the First World War it was used as a residential hotel and also accommodated some Belgium refugees.
By 1920, the changes after the war resulted in little local interest in Clough Hall and was sadly demolished around 1925.
