MESSRS. DANIEL SMITH and SON have
been honoured with instructions from the Proprietor to OF-
FER for SALE by AUCTION, at the Lion Hotel, Warrington, on
WEDNESDAY, October is, and following day, commencing each day
at Eleven o'clock (if not previcusly disposed ef), the above truly
magnificent and very valuable FREEHOLD ESTATES, together
nearly 7,000 statute acres, embracing some of the finest land in
the county, and almost in a ring fence.
They embrace the important Manor of Bold, with its splendid man-
Sion, gardens, park, noble woods, lake, and plantations, all in excel-
lent order, and distinguished as the Bold Hall Estate, and comprising
within itself about 4,300 acres most superbly timbered, and well
stocked with game ; also the Burtonwood Estate adjoining, containing
numerous small farms and other propertS ; together:with the Sutton
Estate, closely contiguous, consisting of about 1,030 acres of
excellent land skirting the prosperous and rapidly improving town of
St. Helen's, and containing mines of superior coal and also beds of
clay of great value for pottery purposes. The whole of these
fine estates (with the exception of the parks and demesne
farm, which are in hand) are let to responsible tenants at
moderate rents, and produce between 11,0001, and 12,0501. per
annum, exclusive of royalties and rents receivable from coal mines,
which must annually increase. The limits of an advertisement will
only admit of a brief outline of the numerous natural and great local
advantages of this most important and splendid domain. The Man-
sion of Bold stands upon a fine elevated part of the park, which
contains about 600 acres, richly studded with noble timber, and
sheltered by venerable oak woods of the finest growth. Within the
park are the remains of the ancient hall, moated round, and which,
from a period little later than the conquest, has been the seat of the
maternal ancestors of the present owner. The Sutton Estate
possesses rare advantages, is intersected by the London and North
Western and St. Helen's and Runcern Gap Railways, and, from its
position and nature, its value Is annually increasing. The St.
Helen's Coal-field, containing an average thickness of 70 feet of coal,
is believed to extend under a considerable portion of the Sutton
Estate ; part of such mines are already in lease, and must be the
source of a vast revenue. The Sutton station of the London and
North Western Railway is distant about a mile from Bold Hall,
affording easy access to all parts of the kingdom. Warrington is
distant from Bold five miles and a half, Liverpool only 14, Manches-
ter 20, ;and London less than 200. The Bold Estate may be pur-
chased without the Sutton and Burtonwoed Demains, which will
.be
offered in various lots.
