An Autumn visit to Ormesby Hall

Ormesby Hall is a historic building located in Middlesbrough, England. The building was constructed in 1754 as a private residence for the Pennyman family, who were wealthy landowners in the area. The Pennyman family were known for their involvement in the iron and coal mining industries, which were booming in the region during the 18th and 19th centuries.

The architecture of Ormesby Hall is typical of the Georgian period, with its symmetrical design and elegant proportions. The building is constructed from red brick with sandstone dressing, and features a hipped roof with dormer windows. The façade of the building is adorned with classical detailing, including pediments, pilasters and sash windows.

Over the years, the Pennyman family made a number of alterations and additions to the building. In the early 19th century, a ballroom was added to the west wing of the house, and in the mid-19th century a new conservatory was built. These additions were designed to reflect the growing status and social ambitions of the Pennyman family.

During the 20th century, Ormesby Hall fell into disrepair and was eventually sold to Middlesbrough Council in the 1960s. The council carried out extensive renovations to the building, which now serves as a venue for weddings and events, as well as a museum dedicated to the history of the Pennyman family and the local area. Today, Ormesby Hall stands as a testament to the wealth and influence of the Pennyman family, and serves as a reminder of the important role that mining played in the industrial development of the region.
