1 Lidget Street
1874
A historic residence
1 Lidget Street was originally built as the residence for Lindley mill owner, James Nield Sykes and became one of Huddersfield’s most historic buildings.
A wonderful example of a classic Georgian Manor with stunning stone facade sat behind imposing gates with sweeping drive and water feature.
1902
Lindley Clock Tower
Sykes commissioned revered architect Edgar Wood to build him a clock tower to ensure his workers arrived on time each day to the mill.
The Clock Tower is one of Wood’s most important works. Standing at 83 feet tall, it showcases Expressionist style with Art Nouveau details.
1910
A house with rich heritage
The Clock Tower would be Wood’s last commission for James Nield Sykes who is laid to rest in Edgerton cemetery and regarded as one of Huddersfield’s best known mill owners and philanthropists.
With such rich historic value, it was only right that 1 Lidget Street was sensitively restored to its former glory to be enjoyed today whilst paying homage to those who created such architectural wonders

Renovation
2016
In a state of faded glory
In 2016, this Georgian mansion was in a sorry state of neglect – derelict and boarded up with graffiti and overgrown gardens.
Sara Presley, now the owner of Manor House, always admired the building’s imposing grandeur and dreamt of restoring it to its former glory.

Passion project
With vision, passion and commitment, Sara assembled a team and embarked on a huge restoration project to create a venue like no other – to the tune of £5.5m. And so the story of Manor House began
