Great Britain West Heslerton Hall - 09-2018

[Yesterday's Relics]

HESLERTON HALL, is a modern mansion, surrounded by pleasant grounds. It is the property of the Hon. Eustace Henry Dawnay, J.P., D.L., of Witham Grove, Essex, whose father, William Henry, Viscount Downe, purchased it from the late Mark Foulis, Esq., in 1854.

Me and Urban Doll made our way to this beautiful manor early one morning after a tip off from a good friend Abandoned Yorkshire, as we entered the heavily overgrown grounds the grey stone building stood proud even in its ageing condition you knew how grand she was.

The building was put up for sale at a price of 20 million which for your money you get the whole town thrown in too.

The Double Toilets

A Bedroom

Grand Backroom/Dining Room

I had a ride here one afternoon as it's not far from where I live.. on arrival we was met by a local builder. He was boarding the place up. We had a good chat with him. No chance he was letting us in. He said the owner was furious about the situation. He then began to tell us he had bough a guard dog to keep people away. Dunno how true this is.. he told us he had a small lock up among some derelict buildings and we was ok to have a look round. The buildings he spoke about was about 100 yards away.. so we went here.. had a mooch about. Found a old squash court. Was real nice. Not long after we was stood by the car planning our next mooch. When another car load of people turned up so we explained the situation. So we was all stood there having a chat.. next thing we are swooped with police.. a local lady had said 8 people was giving her abuse. After a chat with north Yorkshire finest we was soon on our way..

Fascinating building and really great shots of it. Too bad it apparently no longer can be explored now.

It probs can.. if you dropped on it been open. it's all about the timing. The village is only small and the locals are nosey. Lol

By the look of those ceilings, explorers are the least of the owners concern.
Cracking looking place.

This is such a fascinating find for me, thank you for posting such amazing photos. My grandparents lived here, eek, 45 years ago and I have been desperate to get back into the grounds and house to relive some of my best childhood days, to no avail obviously. As Crumpton said, the locals are far from helpful and friendly and make finding anything out difficult. Thanks again for all the photos.

Fair play that's pretty nice. I must have missed this when you posted it.

This is why documenting old buildings before they get converted or demolished is so important as there probably aren't many other photos like these out there. It's certainly one of the main reasons I enjoy this hobby and it's always satisfying when the photos mean something to someone.
