Description:At the time of the photograph Turls Hill House was occupied by Benjamin Whitehouse (1833-1913), a member of an important family of ironmasters in the Black Country and proprietor of the Priorfield Furnaces, Deepfield. It was demolished by the early 1990s.
The first house on this site was built by the Persehouse family in the 16th century. Some parts of this earlier building were incorporated in the early 19th century house seen in this photograph. It was later the home of the Turley and Whitehouse families and renamed Wallbrook House. During World War I it was occupied by Belgian refugees and was known locally as Belgium Yard or Belgiums.
