Visit Notes

Sunday, 10th March 2002

I drive past here so often that I cannot believe I have never stopped to take a look. Well today I did and what a place!

The building is quite huge ans in a wonderful state of ruin. Idyllically sited next to the river it would be a great place for a summer picnic.
