Description
The grounds of West Hall have been subdivided into two - a scout camp to the south and a kennels and cattery to the north. There are two lodges on Cleadon Lane. There is an avenue of elms in the grounds. The house (the seat of Robert Thompson JP) was said to have dated to the mid 17th century. It was demolished in the 1950s. The single storey whitewashed buildings with slate roofs on Cleadon Lane were the former lodges.
