Structural collapse

Claremont House is a large, stone built former dwelling and outbuildings, standing in grounds of approximately 1.4 hectares off Storrs Bridge Lane. The building was last used as a social club for employees of the nearby Hepworths Refractories, but has been vacant for many years. It was built in 1895. Some of the outbuildings are in a derelict condition. The grounds, including a former car park and tennis court, have become overgrown and a substantial number of self-set trees and shrubs have colonised the site. The site has reverted to a semi-natural state, although some minor fly tipping has occurred.

 

It is the most unsafe building I have been in.
