The hall is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II* listed building.
That means legally even if you own the property outright it is a criminal offence to undertake certain building works without express written permission from the small town sheriffs in local government.
This includes repairing roofs with a different material, changing windows, or other original fittings inside or out. GET THIS it can even cover garden plants and shrubs and trees.
Is it any wonder places like this become abandoned?
Quite surprised to come across an ancient Welsh bible
The original wood panelling and fire place.
The formal rooms upstairs were big and full of clutter
The cruciform building, built between 1897 and 1906
I wonder who the menu was for? Patients? staff? but it looks a hearty day of feasting for someone.
Wallpaper!
Weird collection of shoes, anyone point me in the right direction as to why someone would own all these?
This is how the HMV stores began over 100 years ago, 78rpm discs played on wind up gramophones.
Who needs a fucking cake that big? Whilst the poor starve, the windsors.
They only changed their name in 1917 from the house of saxe coburg and gotha to that of windsor.
I mean come on they couldn't be seen sending their subjects to be slaughtered on the battle fields fighting a war against their german family, who in turn were sending their young to die. could they.
Fucking inbreds.
Citizen not subject.
Family snaps down the years,
Faces evolving from young to older
....and a grumpy looking granny, I thought this might have been Indira Gandhi, there is a passing resemblance.
I am wondering if 'with love from babs" the one with the oversized head from my previous post is the same Barbara Lane of Film Enterprises. She is a costume designer credited with numerous works from 1966 til 2006
Silver dream racer, starring david esssex, a gypsy who was back in the 1970's a pop singer, a favourite of under age girls and spinsters of the parish.
Like his songs, in my opinion, the film was shit.
Let's hit the sheds.

I will never understand how can people leave so many personal stuff behind. Photos, documents and other belongings. It's always heartbreaking to see these.
"heartbreaking" I guess to me I think it is wonderful to glimpse something special something not meant to be seen. It does make you think how caring and loving the family really is.

Cheers @grindle
That fireplace and wood paneling is really something. Some really cool stuff in there. The old photographs are cool
Yup, and because it is a protected building ya can't remove the wood without legal permission! crazy? it is stupid crazy
Well thats too bad
yup, stupid laws that prevent old buildings like this being saved, cost prohibitive
Yes. Probably it was owned by a centipede 🤷♀ 😂
LOL, Now that is something I do not want to bump into!
A collection is a collection, weird or not hahaha :)))
you have a valid point , but why LOL?
I don't want to believe those shoes were not owned😂... I am forcing myself to believe that they were probably going to deliver them at some school or somewhere before they choose to abandoned it there. Lol! Don't mind me!
hey @iskawrites cheers for your thoughts, still weird though LOL
Thats an impressive place. Was quite impressed with the paper from 1926 !
