Photo Dilapidation Surveys Greater Manchester
Watling Gate in Altrincham, Greater Manchester is (was) a grade II listed building (1067954). Originally built as a house circa 1910 by Newton on Bailey for Lieutenant Colonel C E Newton on the Newton family estate known as the Timperley Plark Estate in 1905.
The house was in an early twentieth century Arts and Crafts style with a plan form based on a seventeenth century hall style.
It later was used as an art gallery, museum, becoming part of the adjacent Park Road Primary School and then a nursery before falling into disuse and dereliction.
Surveyed some years back by photo dilapidation survey company 360photosurvey.com some years ago, it has steadily declined with vandalism, water ingress and collapse.
Always a pity to see such interesting buildings lost.
