Historical Old Hall Hotel – 81 Main Street

oldhallhotelOriginally two 17th century cottages, the buildings were merged and the fronts rebuilt in the 19th century. The unified building became known as “Ty Gwyn”- The White House. In 1844 the building was home to Daniel Ashley Jnr, superintendent registrar and clerk to Runcorn Board of Guardians. In the rear garden of the property there are two tide stones, marking the level the Mersey reached during high tides in 1802 and 1862. Now a successful hotel, the building, garden wall and tide stones are all Listed Grade II. This photograph shows the Old Hall circa 1890.
