Heaton Park belongs to the City of Manchester and is one of the largest urban parks in Europe. The house- Heaton Hall- was designed by James Wyatt and built in 1772.
That lioness is fantastic. She has a rather bemused expression. Is the house used for anything these days? The wing on the right has the lower windows bricked in.
I'm not sure what's going on. The house can be toured- but not on mondays- so I haven't seen the interior. It does look very shut up. Possibly they're carrying out repairs.
