Benchmark Locator, Waypoint B95276, Anchorage Road, Stretford

            This gate post still stands and is inscribed as “Private Road to Ellastone Hill.” It has not been removed as it carries a benchmark. 

Ellastone Hill was built behind the Gammershaw House in 1876 it was one of two homes belonging to the Swift family. The three storied house was called Prospect House until 1903 when it was bought by a Furrier called John Goodwin. He changed the name to Ellastone because it was his place of birth in Staffordshire.

The Hill came up for sale in 1944 and the accommodation included a hall and cloak room, large lounge with modern grate, dining room, kitchen, scullery and larder, three bedrooms with three more secondary bedrooms, box room and bathroom, Cellars. The yard was enclosed and had an old stable, garage, and green house. Falling into ruin the Ellastone was removed in 1953.
