The extraordinary Gothic mansion, originally known as Woodlands, was built in 1875-76 as a family home for local mill owner and businessman George Sheard and his wife Annie, reputedly costing him a staggering £25, 000 to build and decorate. It’s easy to see why the house cost so much. The building was designed by local architect Walter Hanstock in the popular Gothic style of the Victorian era. Its crowning glory is its unusual and imposing tower, which can be seen from all over the modern housing estate, which now hides the house and the park from the twenty first century. The museum hosts exhibits depicting local history, including the story of Birstalls' most famous son, Joseph Priestley, the discoverer of Oxygen and the rise of local company, Foxes Biscuits, alongside exhibits covering wider interests such as Mythical Beasts and Egyptology.
