The Old Hutt is a Medieval moated manor site. It had a brick gatehouse and a sandstone manor house. In 1662 it was taxed for 22 hearths. 
Halewood Brewery stood near St Nicholas' Church in the 19th century. Bottles and jars were found on the site in the 1970s. The site of the former brewery is behind the Eagle and Child public house. Photograph © Sue Adair.
