Whinburn, Keighley, England

This site is NOT open to public.

Brief description of site

The garden and grounds at Whinburn were developed in two phases in the late-19th and early-20th centuries. There was input from the office of Thomas Mawson in the later period when formal terraces were constructed. The gardens have been neglected of late and the house is the subject of a planning enquiry (2006).

Brief history of site

Whinburn was built in 1897 for Prince Smith III. Whinburn was described in 1902 as a large modern mansion with well-kept gardens. In 1912-13 the house was redesigned and extended, and by 1919 a setting of formal terraces had been laid out to the north-east of the house.
