Title
Centre Vale Mansion, Todmorden - MCH00169
Description
The Mansion is sited to the left of centre in the photo, with Centre Vale parkland surrounding it. The house was built in 1826 by Thomas Ramsbottom. In 1842, the Fielden family moved here from Dawson Weir. In 1849, Samuel Fielden inherited the mansion and estate after his father's death.
The Fielden School of Art was built here in 1872 In 1910, Todmorden Corporation bought the 75-acre estate from John Ashton Fielden for £10,000, and the grounds became Centre Vale Park.
During World War I it was used as a military hospital, and later housed the town's museum, but sadly closed in 1947 because of dry rot, and the building was demolished in 1953.
A Garden of Remembrance was created from what was originally the kitchen garden of the House.
