Calcott Hall

[Rubex]

Calcott Hall, otherwise known as Red Dress Manor, is a Georgian-style house that became a Grade II listed building in 1953, it used to be part of a dairy farm dating back to 1725.

It has been placed on the buildings at risk register by the council and it’s clear to see why; even from the outside this place is looking sorry for itself. Every window is broken and roof tiles are missing which has lead to the top floor being near impossible to walk on due to the rotten floor boards.

The local farmer has piled cow manure under the commonly used access points in an attempt to deter people from entering. There are also cows and a large bull grazing freely in the field surrounding the house.











































Thanks for looking,

Well that's gone downhill fast.

No roof + rain = very fast decay.

Well done on this. This is an excellent example of decay. It just goes to sbow no matter what humankind creates, nature always overcomes in the end.

Did you get trapped by the water left under the window for intruders. We were there today and I was in the car when a police man drove up, very strange, he told me that he wasn't bothered about my son in there taking pics, in fact he could stay in there for a while. After checking my car me and a passenger he told me that it is a well known place for filming pornography.
