Was given the location of this one by a friend who visited a couple years earlier. Overlooked by plenty of houses I was quite wary of being spotted. The building itself is a clear state of disrepair and I wouldn’t recommend anyone to do a full explore here. Although there’s quite a bit to see, the floors are soaking wet and ceilings are falling through, so much that I felt sketchy the entire time. Was quite disturbed to find certain items inside which I didn’t picture for obvious reasons..
History -
Seems the earliest record dates back to around 1630 when the hall was owned by the John Thelwall. Sold on in 1811 to Roger Clouth who later sold it to Joseph Albert in 1831 who was a justice of the peace and high sheriff of Denbighshire, Wales. Following Joseph’s death the hall was passed onto relatives the Jesse Family, however a fire significantly damaged the building in 1865 causing the need to rebuild and refurbish. In 1911 the estate was sold again and used as a Tuberculosis sanatorium, until it eventually closed in 1953.
After remaining empty for many years the hall was bought by a Liverpool entrepreneur who turned the building into a hotel restaurant with apartments. The current owner apparently now has permission to demolish the building and plans to build housing, my guess would be planning permission is holding this back.
