noticed that the lodge type building on queslett rd entrance to netherpark estate has recently been burnt out and destroyed,its situated next to bovis site buildings,fckin great security gaurds they`ve got.whilst bovis homes have built their 400 or so cheap looking houses they`ve left the real history to rot.as has been mentioned before they probably paid people to burn the hall and surrounding old buildings down,fckin wankers need shootin ......

It looks like a standard 13-step flight of stairs to me. Probably an emergency exit, not the primary stairway.

it would be great if you could find anything out about whats happening to this building soloman92.i did manage to take a few close up piccies of the outside of the hall before biff the security guard and shep the dog made us leave ! heavy scaffolding covering the house makes it look like somethings been done but i dont trust these building firms.if anyone does decide to go for a wander over there watch out for the uncovered manholes on the paths around lakes!

I totally love this picture, I love the Hall and it's grounds, I just hope they do what they say they are going to and restore it to it's former glory. If they don't then they should be ashamed of themselves, I have been spurred by your gallery of the Hall to try and do something and will be contacting the council so maybe the people who own it will have to restore it as they have promised and not be allowed to just let it fall down. I will keep the site and its visitors posted on any news of the Hall.
