'The Roost' (left) & 'The Brackens' (right), Stretford Road, Urmston
Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: In 1889 this land and old cottages that were there became the property of the Rock Freehold Company. This in turn was bought by Joseph Schofield until Oliver Gaggs bought the land and cleared it for the pair of semidetached homes. Oliver was the landlord of the Lord Nelson in 1898 until he and his wife Mary created The Roost.
While clearing the site to build the house Oliver found the first Roman coin ever known for the district. Here a piece of masonry was worked later into the gardens as an ornament. This relic of the past came from the Blackpool Tower Ballroom. One of Oliver’s sons, Joseph, worked at the Tower and when it was altered in 1930, he saved it for his own pleasure. In 2001 this was lost due to the development of a new house being installed on that very garden area. Eventually all became under the ownership of the second son Ernest and in 1939 he sold both the Roost and the Brackens to Joseph Hall. Ernest also sold off the orchard at the rear for the establishment of houses on Allen Road. This home was partnered to the Brackens as semidetached. |
