Felicity,

Thank you so much for doing this for us all. So sad to see her end come, even though we knew it was coming, just hard to see it still. She stood proudly for a long, long time & now, she rests in peace. We'll always have galleries of photos & videos to look back on her with, just won't be the same knowing she is no longer with us.

R.I.P. Halcyon Hall. Goodbye, Ms. Bennett.

Felicity,

Thank you for doing this again, seeing her as she is in those photos is a shock to the system. That plaque at the end there, yeah, it's night & day.

Felicity,

Thank you again for that update, however sad it is for us, those were some great photos & the video was nice as well. They are moving fast & the part of her scent, I'd take it as her saying it's ok, I'll know I'll be missed, but, now you have a memory scent to remember me by. Not only have you seen me & heard me, now you've gotten to take in a smell of my true self. I could be putting too much into that thought, but, just a thought there. While it's sad her end has come, at least we had her for as long as we did.

Goodbye, Halcyon Hall, Ms. Bennett. You've been loved by so many.

Here is a YouTube drone flyover video...

...taken back in September of 2021, showing a massive collapse on one of her sides, it seems all of the collapses have been around the chimney stacks. You had a great life, Halcyon Hall, in both an active & an abandoned school. Such a beautiful place, even as time & nature took their toll on her. Rest well, Miss Bennett, you deserve it.

Felicity,

Thanks for the newest update, with the photos & the video link too. Sorry about your drone. Looks like the clock is about to strike midnight on the life of Bennett, at least we'll have the galleries from Motts, from you & if memory serves, I think Pat has shared some photos as well to remember her & the lifespan she had. Like with Grossinger's Resort & many other famous places, this will be a huge loss to the urbex & abandoned places community.

Jason,

It does seem like he has moved on from this, I had hopes for some more galleries of places we've seen from him already & new ones, guess I'll just hope all is well with Motts & his family, friends too.

Negan, the "floor" is paneling or plywood on the wall there, the perspective there has tricked your eyes.

Pat, thanks for the update on her & that a time we've all dreaded has arrived now. Sad to see her go, she has stood proudly for a long time.

Pat,
Thanks for that update, however sad it is, Bennett will still be a grand old gal & will live on in all the photos, videos & stories. If you are able to & you see it happening, could you take some photos to share of her coming down? I always thought she'd take herself down, but sadly that is not going to happen.

Franky, I'm worried too, I hope Motts is ok & we'll see something new soon.

Motts, let us know soon, please?

Pat, Felicity & wanderer, I stumbled upon this video of her from Antiquity Echoes on YouTube.

The images & the music make it a wonderful watch & a good telling of her history. Shows how much the grand ole gal has gone through over the years. Yet, she still stands. Tough ole gal she is too.
