WOODFOLD HALL, BLACKBURN – MANAGED BY HOMESTEAD CONSULTANCY SERVICES LTD


Of all the grand houses in Blackburn’s affluent west end, Woodfold Hall probably ranks as the grandest. Built in 1798 for cotton magnate Henry Sudell, it soon after became the home (in 1827) of John Fowden Hindle, High Sheriff of the County, before eventually becoming the property of


the Thwaites Brewery family, in 1849. Set in 400 acres of land, surrounded by a 9 feet high wall, which was 4 miles long, Woodfold Hall was a magnificent place. The contents of Woodfold were auctioned off in 1949 and the roof


was taken off the the hall soon after (it was a way of avoiding paying the rates and certain taxes). Derelict, it then deteriorated for the following five decades.
