Description: | The house later known as Ashgate Lodge was not part of the property purchased originally bought by John Barnes in the 18th century, but was purchased c 1860 by Alfred Barnes, who was Managing Director of Grassmoor Colliery. The building was considerably enlarged by him in the early 1870s, when a dining room, bedroom, and stables were added. Further extensions were made by his three sons, Alfred Thomas Holland Barnes, Edwin Clay Barnes, and Ernest Edmund Barnes, in the period 1913-14, and the brothers continued to occupy the house until the death of Edwin Clay Barnes in 1941. This photograph, taken in the early 1900s, shows the enlarged building fronted by trees and shrubbery. | Format: | JPEG/IMAGE | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/2.0/uk/ | Publisher: | North East Midland Photographic Record | Subjects: | select Please | Source: | Picture the Past OAI feed | Creator: | Shaw, N | Identifier: | http://www.picturethepast.org.uk/fronten... | Language: | EN-GB | Format: | JPEG/IMAGE | Go to resource |
