Can anybody help me get more information/photos of Ledsham Hall and The Oaks on Badgersrake Lane? Thanks

Sorry, no photos, not sure what information you require.
Below a description of the Hall in 1878, also, the grounds were used as a POW camp, WW2.

1909. This relates to Ledsham Estate. Terrible copy but you might see something. Badgers Rake is also given a mention but I can't read it.

There are a number of mentions to Ledsham Hall on here and the Oaks Hall on page 3

Thanks that's great. I'm trying to upload what I have but no success yet.

keep at it!

You could also try this gentleman. Ian Boumphrey. He has an amazing amount of photographs, and is very helpful.
Good luck.

Yes thanks. I have one of these magazines. It has one photo of each Ledsham hall and The Oaks.

Would be interested to know who JW Haigh is?

The 1896 directory shows him at the Oaks.
I was reading this morning and I will find it again, Mrs Haigh got in to trouble for trying to build something on to Ledsham Hall without permission, anyway, I'll find it again and put it up.

James W Haigh was born in 1821, Rochdale, in the 1870s, he was a Cotton Spinner employing 130 people.

James Whitehead Haigh 1821-1898

Thanks for your help. Such a shame neither of these places still exist
