roofless - a photo on Flickriver

roofless

            A hot summer in 1994 saw the culmination of years of neglect to the fine turreted gazebo at Clumpcliffe, and, at midday on the 18th July, the central core of the building collapsed, leaving the building pretty much ruined. Today virtually nothing remains of the fine old building, which was date 1708, according to the rainwater spout heads. It was originally built as a summer house, and was also likely to have been used as an observatory. Upstairs was also used for the illegal sport of cockfighting, it's eleveated position being ideal for a look out for the law or intruders. Spectators would sit on benches around a sandpit where the cocks would fight. Today, little remains, apart from piles of bricks and the stables and kennel buildings around a courtyard, with their exposed roof timbers. It is such a shame that such neglect has allowed this historic site to fall into such a bad way :(
