Abbeydale Industrial Hamlet

The furnished Manager's House gives a glimpse into home life for a lower middle-class family in the late 1800s.

 

Originally built around 1838, the house has stables adjoining it and just opposite, which reflects the importance of horse-drawn transport for a works of this size and location.
