Sutton Scarsdale

Scarsdale Hall sits on the outskirts of Chesterfield, it's clearly visible from the M1 as it snakes through the valley below, it's also fairly close to Bolsover castle.

 

It is said it was once an estate to rival Chatsworth, but all that remains of it today is a grand but empty shell. The baroque style mansion was built between 1724-1729, during the First world war it fell on hard times and was sold to asset strippers who tore the place shipping the majority of it to the US.
