Brief history of site

Shaw Hill was established in the mid-19th century as a private residence. Owned by Thomas Bright Crosse, the large mansion was remodelled in 1845 after the designs of Mr Charles Reed of Birkenhead. The house possesses a distinctive architectural character. On the north side is a colonnade of the Roman Doric order which extends the whole length. On the West side are terraces commanding fine prospects of the well planted vicinity.
