Westwood Hall, Grade II listed school building in Leek, England

Westwood Hall features red sandstone walls, plain and scallop-tiled roofs, plus a clock tower positioned on the western side of the south front.

The building was constructed between 1850 and 1853 by architects Hadfield, Weightman and Goldie for John Davenport, son of the Davenport Pottery Company founder.

The interior maintains original design elements including plaster ceilings and fireplaces, with one fireplace decorated in monochromatic tiles depicting traditional crafts.

The building operates as Westwood College and welcomes visitors during school hours and specific events that display its educational and historical background.

After a substantial fire in 1983, workers restored the entrance hall and staircase, preserving stained glass from the original stair window.
