Winstanley hall, Wigan's hidden gem.
Exploring the abandoned Winstanley Hall was great. It was a huge trek to get there, dodging farmers, trekking through the woods, avoiding getting shot from nearby gunfire to great exploration and ducking from people passing by without being seen.
Had a great adventure, cant wait for the next one.


Winstanley history:
On 10th August 1880, Susannah sent her daughters into Wigan. Around 3pm she gave some instructions to her maid, Mary Hitchen and told her she would continue the conversation after her walk. At 5pm, Susannah’s body was found floating in a well, 285 yards from her home. Her body was recovered by Francis Atherton, a stone mason who also lived on the estate.

Press reports portrayed Susannah’s death as accidental, as she was middle class and suicide was illegal. The well could only be accessed by descending some stone steps, so it was assumed Susannah had slipped when attempting to get some water to drink or to bathe her forehead on the hot afternoon. Reports of the event were printed under the title ‘sad death of a lady’ in newspapers across the United Kingdom. The unofficial tale is that Susannah took her own life upon the discovery of her husband’s affair with Elizabeth Atherton (the wife of Francis Atherton). There is no suggestion of this in the newspapers, nor would there be. However, Susannah’s mental state at the time of her death was mentioned. It was revealed she had suffered from melancholia for some months. Yet on the day of her death Mary Hitchen stated Susannah ‘was very cheerful, more so than witness had seen her for some years.’ An inquest returned an open verdict and Susannah was buried at St. Aidan’s Church in Billinge.
