I worked inside of Hopwell Hall for 3 years. Its a beautiful building, inside and out.

[@ExpeditionHiker]

[@Pietrocrespee]

@@ExpeditionHiker I served my entire apprenticeship there as a painter and decorator, so it would of been roughly between 2007 and 2010.

I have enjoyed this video. It is nice to watch other KZbinrs promoting the beautiful corners of England, and talk about its history. I have never been in that area, but after this video I will add it to our bucket list.

[@ExpeditionHiker]

Thanks for watching, I am glad you liked it, plenty more similar videos coming soon, thanks again

Is it suitable for dog walkers? Like around Hopwell Hall and farm? Thanks

[@ExpeditionHiker]

yes I would think so as did see others with dogs, but keep them on a lead near farms and cattle

[@p.s.anders]

There was a Borstal/Remand school in the area. Is it still there?

[@ExpeditionHiker]

There is but a few miles from Hopwell Hall, it's in Stapleford

[@p.s.anders]

@@ExpeditionHiker Thanks.

THIS IS NOT MINECRAFT. Ok I understand we are not going to get a minecraft video. However could you at the very least make a paranormal investigation at 3am video ? Now that would be sick.
