Unfortunately only outside pics of this one. Once I got closer to it, the 'un' dropped as I saw how wrecked it was - I don't think there were any floors left, and all the lower windows were well secured so I neglected to find out...
It's been closed for a mere 18 years, in 1992 the owners got permission to install a pitched roof which might have saved it, but it was never built.
Just before WW2 started, Captain James Taylor, a retired farmer, saw his recently built, 28-bedroomed hotel requisitioned by The Admiralty to be used as a hospital. It wouldn't return to him until 1947, ten years after it was built by these plucky chaps...
No floors
Bricked up main entrance
Tennis courts
