Potters manor

[ale4dt]

Hi
My first post on here, so please bear with me if its not very good!

Was in the area of potters manor the other day with a friend, heard it was being demolished so wanted to see what state it was in. Was very surprised! Seems to be in the process of being renovated/rebuilt, with lots of new brickwork and windows. The grounds have been cleared, outside steps are visible and the driveway is usable. The brickwork on the left side is visibly new but seems to be the same style/design as original. Couldn't stay very long or get many pictures as got saw off buy some builders living in a caravan on site. Very strange for me seeing it like that.

Would have loved to stay longer/find out more about the work being done, but the builders didnt look too happy.
Cheers for looking

Thats better! Interesting to see the house being restored.

Blimey! It looks rather 'wrong' all nice and new and not a great big crumbling mess.

Amazed to see this, I've watched from the comfort of my armchair the downward spiral of decay of this house via this forum. and as it was being sold with permission to demolish and replace considered it surely done for. Someone has put some serious money into that, well done them! And thankyou for the pics.

That's rather fantastic, thanks for the update. I hope they restore the gardens as well...

Now that is a pleasant surprise. It certainly sounded like it was wrecking ball fodder.

I was worried looking at this, then it turns out one of my all time favs has turned a new leaf! Glad someones parted with a large sum to restore this place! Glad its all being sorted and I hope they sort the steps/pond out to! Its looking like a beaut of a building when finished! The new owners are certainly lucky! Cheers!
