Gates House was designed in 1915 by T Laurence Dale and altered by Thomas Smith Tait in 1930. It is a brick house in English bond, with a high hip and tiled roof. Tait added to either side a cubic, flat-roofed and single-storeyed extension, similar to the original design, and produced an exciting and novel effect characteristic of interwar design.

Osaac's (invoice 1 September 1915, £14), at The Hill to Thornton Manor; The Leverhulme Collection, Thornton Manor, Wirral, Merseyside, Sotheby's, 26-28 June 2001, lot 1077.Footnotes: Note: The current lot is noted in the inventories in the collection of Jeffrey Whitehead. Although, little is known of him, he appears to have been a stockbroker and a passionate collector of works of art and embroidery.Condition Report: The lot overall has a heavy verde gris, rough patination. Neptune's trident is bent at the top of his hand and was possible originally a longer handle. This hand also has a slightly brown patination. The knocker does function but the hinge is quite stiff and would benefit from some oil. Where the knocker hits the separate circular mount there is an inevitable worn patch where contact is made. The separate lion head sits above the hinge when mounted. The dimensions in complete mounted state are: 57cm high; 28cm wide; 13cm deep (protrusion).
