Dalton Grange
Dalton Grange stands on or near the site of a house which, in 1854, was called View Cottage and which, in the early 19th Century must indeed have had a splendid view northeast over the lush water-meadows of the Colne to the wooded hillside of the Fartown and Sheepridge areas. Dalton Grange was built on the site in 1870 by Henry Brook of J.H. Brook & Sons of Bradley Mills. In 1916 it was bought by British Dyes for conversion into a recreation club for their employees, Changing lifestyles meant the social club became redundant and in recent years Dalton Grange became a wedding venue until this too was shut down in 2017.
If you look at prev reports the level of natural decay is quite shocking.
The table still looks ok though lol
Thats it from this rather stunning building. thanks for looking!
