Description:The approach to Trentham Hall was originally from the west and this Grand Entrance formed part of the west front.
Trentham Hall was abandoned by the family as a permanent residence in 1905. In 1910 the Duke of Sutherland offered the hall to the County of Staffordshire and the Borough of Stoke-on-Trent. The offer was refused and the building was demolished, apart from the west front and stable block. The tower was re-erected on the Sandon Hall Estate.
Today the grounds have been developed as an exhibition, conference and leisure centre.
