Whiteley Wood Hall, 17th century country house in Fulwood, England

The English country house stood off Common Lane with its own woods, offering views across the Porter Valley until its demolition in 1959.

Alexander Ashton constructed Whiteley Wood Hall in 1662, and Thomas Boulsover, inventor of Sheffield Plate, resided there from 1757 until 1788.

The hall became a central point for Sheffield's industrial advancement when Thomas Boulsover established the Wire Mill forge on adjacent land in 1760.

The stable buildings and surrounding grounds currently function as an outdoor activities center managed by Girlguiding Sheffield, featuring camping areas and accommodation.

Sheffield Corporation acquired the property in 1896, with Arnold Muir Wilson's family occupying it until 1909, followed by William Clark until 1926.
