      Presumably you were given the old Cease and Desist because now some poor student Surveyor and an H&S Executive will have to carry out a new bloody annoying 'Risk Assessment' to save the owner's arse in case someone falls over your lovingly horizontally placed sandstone (?) blocks. Rather than the nightmare tsunami of shattered slate, glass, brick and ironmongery that overwhelms the site still.

    I struggle to understand how this could possibly be left as it is. To have it uncovered as much as possible and for people to be able to enjoy what was a magnificent house has to be the way to go.

    I don’t want to be a killjoy as I love seeing what’s been discovered and would be up for digging out more to see what’s there. However now it’s been uncovered it’s not protected. The remains have lasted because the soil prevented wind, frost, rain etc from damaging what remained. Now it’s open to the elements it becomes very vulnerable. A lot of what has been uncovered was never meant to be outside. Unless it’s properly protected the fantastic preservation will be destroyed and in the future when technology perhaps can rebuild or reconstruct there will be nothing left. Yes it’s educational to see it but it needs to be there for future generations to learn and to help them respect the past.
    Thank you Darren for your amazing videos. I never comment or push my views forward but I felt I had to say this.

    colab with Mz i have seen was the Saltaire exploration. I have good child memories of riding up the Glen railway to the fun fair and tea rooms (with Peacocks) up by the craggs. I have mentioned it all in your other posts about Saltaire and the Glen. It was a popular event for walkers, family groups to walk from the Glen cafe to Ilkley over the Ilkley Moor either Easter Monday or maybe Whitsuntide Monday. I wonder if any others can remember this happening? Cheers DougT
