Dovecote (used for pigeons). c.1880. Thomas Worthington for Mary Worthington. Flemish bond brick, stone dressings and Westmorland slate roof. Octagonal, of two stages (the lower having been half buried when the motorway was constructed) with a conical roof. Lower stage has two doorways with elaborately moulded pointed brick arches and four small lancet openings. The upper stage is corbelled out from the octagonal base to form a circular stage which housed the nesting boxes. Moulded eaves cornice, four picturesque gabled dormer bird entries with planted timber decoration. An elaborate vane no longer exists and much of the brickwork is in a poor state of repair. The only remaining building of the once important site of Sale Old Hall. It was relocated to its current location, Walkdem Gardens, in 2003 due to road widening of the M60
