IN THIS VIDEO WE TAKE YOU ON A EXPLORE OF THE ABANDONED FORD GREEN HOUSE & FORD GREEN HALL MUSEUM: WE FOUND A BUNKER IN STOKE ON TRENT.
HISTORY
FORD GREEN HOUSE
Ford Green House is believed to be one of Stoke-on-Trent's oldest houses. Built in the mid 19th century, the Victorian-style property is located on Ford Green Road in Smallthorne.
According to deed documents, the property, not to be confused with the nearby Ford Green Hall - the 17th century timber-framed farmhouse which is now a museum - may well have once been home to the Baroness of Stafford.
Over the years it has changed hands many times but it was most recently occupied by retired hairdresser Stuart James, who lived in the property for 24 years. In 2004, Mr James put the house up for sale for £385,000.
FORD GREEN HALL MUSEUM
Ford Green Hall is a Grade II* listed farmhouse and historic house museum in Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire.
The oldest parts of the house date from the late 16th century, with one wing being either added or greatly repaired at some point in the early 18th century.
In its grounds, there also stands an 18th-century dovecote which shares the listed building status of the main farmhouse.
The hall is thought to have been built in 1624 for Hugh Ford, a local yeoman farmer, remaining in the Ford family for some 200 years.
A brickwork extension was added to the property sometime in the 17th century, most likely replacing or renovating a previous structure.
The Fords had left the area by the 19th century, and after a series of tenants, it was split into three separate dwellings.
During this period, the distinctive timber framing was covered in white stucco.
The property was purchased by Stoke-on-Trent City Council in 1946 and, following restoration, opened as a museum in 1952.
Ford Green Hall has been furnished as a 17th-century yeoman farmer's house. The museum includes a number of original textiles, ceramics and pieces of furniture, as well as some reproductions.
The whole of the museum's collection is "Designated Outstanding" by the Arts Council England, recognising it as of world class importance.
There is an onsite café and the hall also holds a licence for weddings.
Following budget cutbacks by Stoke-on-Trent City Council in 2011, the museum was faced with closure.
However, in early 2014, a deal was finalised to pass the management over to Ford Green Hall Ltd, a charitable organisation led by local volunteers.
The timber framing needed to be repaired in the 21st century, and the building was temporarily on the "Heritage at Risk Register".
