''A Happy fence Friday'' to all ... from > Dj.

A very 'keep out' style of fence surrounds the derelict shell,. of 'Sutton Scarsdale hall'',.
The 'pip' shows the interior staircase.
After many years of neglect, the estate was bought by local businessmen who asset-stripped the house; even removing the roof in 1920. Some parts of the building were shipped to the U.S.A, where one room's oak panelling was bought by newspaper baron William Randolph Hearst, who planned to use it at Hearst Castle. After many years in storage in New York City, the panelling was bought by 'Pall Mall films' for use as a set in their various 1950s productions.. {wikipedia}
