The entrance to Westwood house can be seen on the right of this photograph on Manchester Road. A stump remains there today in a garden on Manchester Road which marks where the entrance was. There are also stories of a gardener being buried there and that is why the stump remains.
Westwood House was close to High Bank House at the top of Hospital Road. High Bank House was the home of Andrew Knowles (cousin of Sir Lees’ father John Knowles). Andrew Knowles and his family later lived at Swinton Old Hall (Victoria House).

Clively Bank House was built by the Knowles and was probably named after Lord Clive of India who lived at the nearby Clifton Hall as a child.
The properties and pits (Wheatsheaf, Agecroft, Clifton Hall Colliery and Pendleton) owned by the Knowles families were all within easy reach of one another, and of the homes they lived in. This can be seen on the 1908 map.
The Knowles family also owned and ran cotton mills in the area.
Newtown Mill, Pendlebury was operated by John Knowles and Sons cotton spinners and manufacturers. The street where it stands is named Lees Street, presumably after his son Sir Lees Knowles.
In 1902 the mill was under the ownership of John Ashworth Limited. John Ashworth was a brother-in-law to John Knowles. He died in 1888 and the company was run by his son Percy john Ashworth cousin of Sir Lees Knowles.
The mill still stands today and was renamed Lowry Mill, as it featured in Lowry’s paintings. L. S. Lowry lived nearby at 117 Station Road, Swinton.

Robert Knowles bought Swinton Old Hall and had it completely rebuilt between 1859 and 1862.
The initials R.K. could be seen in the mouldings of the entrance hall and the stables on Swinton Hall Road were thought to have been added at that time.
Robert Knowles and family were living at Swinton Old Hall on the 1881 census.

Robert was married to Jane Kay of Turton, daughter of William and Jane Kay.
Following her death in 1844 he married Ann Bridge.
According to a newspaper article dated 4th April 1883, following the death of Robert Knowles, the whole of the modern house was up for sale.
Presumably, his son Andrew Knowles then owned it, as on the 1891 census Andrew Knowles’ widow and second wife Eleanora Margaret and family were living at Swinton Old Hall. Andrew Knowles died in 1890.
In January 1896 the estate of approximately 16 acres including Swinton Old Hall was auctioned off to the highest bidder, Edward Holt the Brewer of Cheetham Hill. (Son of Joseph Holt). They could have been a relative of Dorothy Holt. Sir Lees 3x grandmother married to Thomas Knowles.

3 months later Salford District Council persuaded Edward Holt to sell Swinton Hall to them, and thereafter the house became the Council Offices. It was then that the house became known as Victoria House, and the estate became Victoria Park.

Sir Lees’ 2nd cousin Ethel Knowles (daughter of Andrew and Eleanora Knowles) who lived at Swinton Hall married Admiral Heathcote Salusbury Grant in 1899 and became Dame Ethel of Seafield.
Presumably, Sir Lees and Lady Nina Geraldine met through their marriage, as Admiral Heathcote Salusbury Grant was likely to have been a relative of Lady Nina’s parents.

In 1895 Sir Lees Knowles presented the church with a painted panel in memory of his parents John and Elizabeth Knowles.
This was a depiction of the Last Supper which was altered in the early 1950s after the war. It was lowered so it wouldn’t obscure the view of the new east window, and the five figures from the top of Our Lord, Moses and Elias and two attendant angels were removed.
Permission was given by Lady Nina for the alterations to take place.
