Storthes Hall

A heavily wooded area, it comprises a single road, Storthes Hall Lane, which links Kirkburton to Farnley Tyas and Thurstonland.

Storthes Hall Mansion was built for the mill owning Horsfall family in about 1788; it passed to the Bill family after Dorothy, daughter of William Horsfall, married Robert Bill of Farley Hall in Staffordshire.

[1][2] It is close to Kirkburton and was renamed The Mansion Hospital when it became an independently managed facility for people with learning disabilities.

[3] After the Mansion Hospital closed in 1991, the building, which is Grade II listed, was returned to private residential use.

[2] An area to the west of The Mansion, closer to Farnley Tyas, was developed as Storthes Hall Hospital in the early 20th century.
