Visited the hall with @woopashoopaa @telf @vulex very nice this one. Even though you here voices while inside the back part is still live and used for the club house for the golf club. Some nice features still remain.so here's a bit of history I managed to dig up and a few pics...
Cornist Hall was once the residence of
the Sumners family who founded and
owned the steel works at Shotton on
Deeside, five or six miles away from
Flint.
Today the Hall has been turned into
the local Golf Club's club-house, and
part of it is used for wedding
receptions and similar functions. It
was used as a restaurant for a short
time but failed to make money. The
grounds of the Hall form the nine hole
golf course and park.
Many men from Flint once worked at the
steel works, today most have been made
redundant. It seems slightly ironic
that they should spend their time
playing golf on the land of the man
who was once their employer.
