Conservatory from North West

  • CA RRU 025-008-1-6
  • Item
  • 1910-1920
  • Part of B. Citerley

The greenhouse and conservatory were constructed and installed by the Lord and Burnham Company and they later used the estate installation in their promotional material. The glass house complex had a full time manager and required 60 tons of coal and 200 cords of wood per year to heat. The ornate conservatory pictured had a central dome of about 30 ft square, with two side galleries, each 60 ft long. Flowers were grown inside that were intended for display in the castle and in later years it was also used for food production. According to a former gardener, interviewed in the 1950s, Laura Dunsmuir said that the conservatory was an extravagance in a private garden and that it should be in a public park.

Hayward family outside cottage at Hatley Park

  • Part of B. Citerley

While this image does show the Hayward family outside a cottage at Hatley Park, the surrounding trees suggest it is not the gardener's cottage by the walled garden. Three identical cottages exist on the estate - the gardener's cottage, the footman's cottage, and the butler's cottage. This is most likely the footman's cottage at the north east of the estate, near the original stables and the service entrance to the estate.

The shape of this greenhouse is not the same as the Lord and Burnham greenhouses at Hatley Park and may have been on the estate prior to the improvements made by landscape architects, Brett and Hall from 1912 to 1914. It may also be somewhere other than Hatley Park.
