HI tonker, The question about Winstanley Hall as far as i know was owned by a JAMES BANKS 1542-1617 PURCHASED THE ESTATE IN 1595/6 FROM A MEMBER OF THE WINSTANLEY FAMILY.
THE WINSTANLEY PROPERTY HAS BEEN IN THE POSSESSION OF THE BANKS FAMILY FROM THAT TIME TO THE PRESENT DAY.
I do not have any recollection of Hindley Hall being linked with Winstanley Hall , but i will try and find out the connection if any!
The latest about the "coach road"the state has somewhat been attended to ie all those dreaded nettles have been scythed down ,it's now a lot better to walk along that is until it grows back again .my reason for going again was to check on parents flower's i had laid and to water them the ROSES ( GOLDEN BOUQUET YELLOW) ARE STILL SUPERB THANK YOU ALL.
