Clough Hall was built by Jon Gilbert in around 1800 and was demolished about 1927. Between 1817 and 1874 Clough Hall was the home of the Kinnersley family, bankers and iron merchants in Newcastle-under-Lyme. The Hall was bought in 1890 by a firm from Manchester who turned the grounds into a pleasure park, with ornate gardens, rides and fetes. This opened on the 26 May 1890. During World War One the hall became a hotel and housed some Belgium refugees for a time. After the war little interest was shown in the site, it fell into disuse and the hall was finally demolished.

Stevens was employed by the Manchester company in 1891 for various undefined works.
