Broadlands, near Romsey, Hants, the country seat and birthplace of Lord Palmerston, 1865. Creator: Unknown
Broadlands, near Romsey, Hants, the country seat and birthplace of Lord Palmerston, 1865. 'Here, at Broadlands, Oct. 20,1784, the late Prime Minister, Henry John Temple, was born...The estate of Broadlands...came into the possession of Lord Palmerston's grandfather about the middle of the last century. Its boundary approaches close to the town of Romsey, on the Southampton road, the park, which is pretty large, extending about a mile and a quarter, and occupying both banks of the River Test...The park is well ornamented with wood and water, having many stately trees grouped with much taste and judgment over its surface; while the river, which is here beautifully limpid and clear, abounding with trout, forms a most agreeable object. The house itself is of simple but elegant architecture, with an Ionic portico fronting the west. It is built of fine white bricks from a design by "Capability Brown," who also laid out the park and pleasure grounds'. From "Illustrated London News", 1865

**A Slice of History: Broadlands, Birthplace of Lord Palmerston**
Step into the charming world of yesteryear with this photograph print of Broadlands, near Romsey, Hants. Taken in 1865, it captures the essence of a bygone era at the country seat and birthplace of Henry John Temple, later known as Lord Palmerston.
As you gaze upon this idyllic scene, imagine yourself strolling through the beautifully landscaped park that stretches about a mile and a quarter along both banks of the River Test. The tranquil atmosphere is punctuated only by the gentle lapping of water against its crystal-clear surface, teeming with trout. Stately trees are thoughtfully grouped throughout, their leafy canopies providing shade from the warm sun.
The elegant house at Broadlands, built using fine white bricks and designed by renowned landscape architect "Capability Brown," stands proudly to the west, its Ionic portico a testament to refined taste. This picturesque haven was once home to Lord Palmerston's grandfather, who acquired it in the mid-18th century.
This photograph print offers a glimpse into the life of one of Britain's most influential statesmen and provides an evocative snapshot of rural England during the 19th century. It is a true treasure for anyone interested in history, architecture, or simply appreciating the beauty of nature.
