Introduction
Westwood had a collection of buildings possibly associated with a house. This was linked with a garden or possibly a pleasure ground laid out on a formal, almost grid, plan. The site also included a large irregular-shaped lake leading off from or draining into the Bridgewater Canal. The site survives in part. All the buildings have been demolished, but the site remains open as Broadoak Park and is used as a miniature golf course.
