The popular code name for this is House of Tears however I have taken the liberty of using a different one.

Firstly, as I personally knew some of the last family who lived there and secondly I feel it gives a misleading impression of the place.

The main building was built around 1735 however the estate can be traced back to the 12th Century and some features such as an ornate staircase and fireplace are dated around 1620. Part of the building was leased to British Telecom for use as offices and in 2001 the whole estate was put on the market for £5 million but no buyer has yet made a firm offer. The house had suffered neglect for about 15 years before this, partly due to the crippling effect of death duties. It is still in reasonable condition but not surprisingly on the buildings at risk register.

Nice set jonesy, didn't realise you knew the previous occupants. It's a crying shame it just sits there empty really but a joy to explore and photograph at the same time :D

'Brought it back to the table' what are you a fucking waitress? Seriously you act like you own places, it's an old manor house named WOOLTON HALL - that's what the owners called it when they 'brought it to the table'.Jeez get a fucking life you loser Rebecca.

This is why this is a shit childish hobby - it's full of dicks like her :)
WTF is that rant about mate as just off scale and makes no sence @ all.

I guess you wanted to be the first in 2015 with the UKs drama Llama crap.

As youve taken the time to express your opinion can you please put into some order.

At the same time you have so much to say and done so rudely ,yet makes me think as Ive never seen a single location you have contributed in the past ten years plus so shut up & go to bed please mate.

Im sorry to be rude but sleep the New Year off :p
