Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: Undercliffe From Rye Hill. Undercliffe Hall is unusual in that it is built of local whinstone, an extremely hard volcanic rock more suited for use as a road surface. The additional work that would have gone into dressing the stone because of its hardness would have considerably increased the cost of this nineteenth century house. It was probably built for Williams Jones an industrialist who founded the first chemical plant on Teesside to "manufacture superphosphate of lime and other artificial fertilisers" as a by product of waste from the ironstone mines. The site of this factory is still a chemical plant, see Stephen McCulloch photo here: 657984.
On old Victorian maps the foreground fields are marked as a sand quarry. |
