The Willows Preston

A suburban garden laid out by Thomas Hayton Mawson for W W Galloway, a local businessman.. Mawson initially worked in partnership with Dan Gibson and the new designs made use of existing garden enclosures. The work was carried out in two stages, separated by a gap of several years. The first phase was between 1899 and 1902, followed by modifications and extensions in 1912. Mawson was given a free hand by his client, and he considered the commission to be one of the most interesting schemes for improving an old garden with which he had been involved. Around 1930 the house became a hospital in the ownership of the local Health Board
