Alston Hall, Victorian country house in Longridge, England
Alston Hall stands as a Victorian gothic style mansion with an entrance tower and intricate stonework details throughout its exterior walls.
Constructed in 1876 for colliery owner John Mercer, the building later served as a Day Continuation College following its sale to Preston Borough Council in 1949.
The property represents the architectural preferences of wealthy industrialists during the late 19th century industrial expansion in Northern England.
Located at coordinates 53°48′00″N and 2°35′46″W, the hall sits on Alston Lane and maintains its status as a Grade II listed building.
The hall changed ownership multiple times, passing through the hands of cotton manufacturers before becoming a residential training center in 1974.
