I always remember playing pool in the bar area, and then playing on the organ on an evening. The rooms were amazing and very posh. Such great memories.

I am quite disappointed however to read that access is difficult, would love to try and get some pics of my own.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19670640.post-46658028290847078322013-01-15T23:10:20.814+00:002013-01-15T23:10:20.814+00:00My dad worked there 1950's - 60's so l spe...My dad worked there 1950's - 60's so l spent most of my childhood in the beautifully kept grounds and had Christmas parties in the chapel every year.As it has masses of history, l only hope whoever has bought it gives it the respect it deserves and helps create as many good memories as l have.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19670640.post-949965965402528972012-12-30T17:55:33.836+00:002012-12-30T17:55:33.836+00:00The Geordie people are known for being very welcom...The Geordie people are known for being very welcoming you are making them look like racist.
