Another great video hubby. So sad to see it like this though xxx

It looks like the lodge has stood the test of time. Shame it's been allowed to go from wreck to ruin. It's a nice building with plenty of land. But that doesn't bother the powers that be. At least you have photographs and videos to remember it by. Love from us. Take care.

Hi James I have tried to find out what is going to happen to it. All I get is there is asbestos in it and no decision has been made. This has been going on for years. Its going to fall down or Burnt out before a decision is made. Love to you and Sanja.

This was my family home, sadly when my Dad passed my mam was wanted to leave. It breaks my heart that the church has allowed the lodge to fall into this condition 😢

Such a shame Emma love that cottage. Lets hope something can be done. I remember going past for years the kids used to love being lifted up to see the hens. I dont know if that was your dad that had them. Take Care

Shame to see it in that state, the couple that used to live there had that garden well kept.

I remember Hughzie so sad. I just hope it will be saved.
