Garrett Hall, Grade II listed building in Tyldesley, Wigan, England
Garrett Hall is a Grade II listed farmhouse built from stone and brick with traditional architectural elements spanning different periods of English design. The structure displays features from multiple building eras that together form its distinctive character.
The building dates back to medieval times and received its Grade II listing status in 1987. This designation recognized its special architectural value and ensured its protection for future generations.
The farmhouse reflects the agricultural past of the region and shows how rural structures shaped the development of modern Wigan. The buildings stand as evidence of historical rural life in Lancashire.
The building is currently undergoing development plans to transform it into three residential flats while keeping its protected architectural features intact. Visitors should check ahead as renovation work may be in progress and limit access to the site.
Archaeological investigations at the site have uncovered hints of underground remains pointing to earlier settlements in the region. These findings suggest the land was inhabited long before the current building was constructed.
