Haymount, Holcombe Old Road, Holcombe Brooke, Ramsbottom, Greater Manchester

A man in a top hat holding the bridle of a horse which is harnessed to a chaise, with a woman sitting on the seat of the chaise holding the reins, outside the entrance door to Haymount. Previous daybook entries name the house as Haymount, although contemporary Ordnance Survey maps show it as Holcombe Hall. The house was owned by the Aitken family, and was later reused as Aitken Sanitorium. It is now a mosque and Islamic school, Darul Uloom. The daybook states that interior decoration was carried out by David Murray.
