Orrell Mount

Introduction

Orrell Mount is an 18th-century house with grounds and a park to the east of Orrell Post. Orrell Cottage lies to the east, with open fields to the north. There is possibly evidence of subdivision of the site on the western boundary along the line of the road for houses. There is a small pond to the rear of the house with a turret at the eastern edge of the pleasure ground. The park lies to the north. The former field boundaries are still clear. There has been some thickening of the planting along the northern boundary of the park.
