The first mansion was more like a mental hospital and the brick colour...very interesting as those coloured bricks are made from a type of clay I thought was only found over in East Yorkshire. Many railways buildings on the old LNER were constructed using that style and colour of brick.
OK, enough of being boring for one day but I would have loved to have got a look inside Woolton Hall. That's a gorgeous looking building.
The first one doesn't look like a 17th century building with that brickwork. I felt the same about Thornseat Lodge close to Sheffield, it looked too modern and yet that one was crumbling. Sandblasting works wonders I guess.
