Description
I'm sure you are bored to death seeing all these piccies from old ruins...and especially the neighbor ruin here :p
This is a doorway at Scarsdale Hall. One of the better preserved parts of the ruin. If English Heritage says yes, I will have an art exhibition at this very ruin in June. So far they liked the idea ;)
Thank you so much for all the birthday wishes, both in my gallery, in the forums and to all of you who sent them in comment elsewhere in here :)
Glad you liked my piccie of the Stick yesterday :D

Syrup - the new part of Scarsdale Hall was built in 1724 by an Earl, Nicholas Leke and the family Leke owned the manor for more than 300 years. When Leke died he had big debts because of the Hall, which he built in competition with another manor not that far away from here, Chatsworth House. After Lekes death there's been a lot of owners, and the final nail in the coffin was set by the Arkwright family who sold the Hall in 1920 to a building firm called Haslam Ltd for 12,600. The new owner stripped the Hall from the magnificent interiors and sold everything they could. A part of the Hall is said to be in Philadelphia in a museum somewhere. And this was the reason that English Heritage took over. The Hall was abandoned after Haslam Ltd was done with it and English Heritage purchased it only 3 days before it was to be demolished. It has a grand history and I love every inch of it :) There's legends around it of course and it's open to the public, free of admission.
