Acklam Hall, Grade I listed mansion in Middlesbrough, England
Acklam Hall is a three-story brick building with stone detailing and ornate plasterwork ceilings along with a carved wooden staircase. The structure occupies a substantial grounds and functions today as a venue with multiple rooms for different purposes.
The building was completed in 1683 by William Hustler and served as the family home for generations. In 1928, Middlesbrough Corporation took ownership and transformed it into a public facility.
The interior rooms display ornamental plasterwork with designs of wreaths, fruit, and griffons that show the craftsmanship of the period. These decorations shape the character of the front living spaces and convey a sense of past wealth and status.
The site is accessible by car, with the main building reached via a long avenue lined with trees. The interior spaces can be viewed during events, so it helps to check availability in advance before planning a visit.
Two rows of large oak trees form an avenue stretching nearly half a mile from Acklam Road to the hall's entrance. This tree-lined approach is a distinctive feature of the grounds and shapes the visitor's first impression.
