Rock Hall in Moses Gate Country Park was built over two-hundred years ago for the Crompton Family who operated mills beside the Crompton Lodges that still remain within the park. Rock Hall was for some time used as in information centre for the park.
Rock Hall is currently unoccupied and looks almost derelict.
“House, now information centre. c.1807 for T.B. Crompton, a local paper manufacturer. Brick with slate roof. 2 storeys, 5 bays, the central 3 bays breaking forward under pediment. Stone base and top cornice. Windows have gauged- brick flat arches and are sashed with glazing bars. Round- headed entrance has glazed doorcase, fanlight with glazing bars and paired 3-fielded-panel doors. Gable-end stacks. C20 rear extension of no special interest. Interior has festoon frieze to one room and fireplace with Ionic columns to another.” - Outdated excerpt from NMR.
