History of Broadgreen Historic House
One of Nelson's oldest residential buildings, Broadgreen House is located at 276 Nayland Road Stoke. The charming cob cottage was built in 1855 for Mr and Mrs Edmund Buxton, and their six daughters. In 1855 Mr Buxton, originally from Derbyshire, founded the firm 'E. Buxton & Co. Merchants' in Nelson which sold "everything from firearms to sausage skins". His house was built on the 100 acre property he bought in Stoke, near Nelson in 1854.
