Old Buildings

Parlington Hall in its heyday circa 1880. View of the south elevation, with the west wing to the viewers left, being the remaining structure, having survived the demolitions of the twentieth century.

Some people find old buildings and history a bore! However have you ever considered where your family came from and what the world was like just a few short decades ago, it's all changing very fast, I think often too fast for our own good, so when I came across a place for a new office that was steeped in history I decided to try and find out what I could about the place.

This blog along with the site dedicated to the old Hall is my effort to provide some useful information to anyone who might have an eye for how things once were and to give an insight into a building that was abandoned in the early twentieth century and over a fifty year period slowly disintegrated to finally disappear in the 1960's.
