Think have seen that one before, but it's still interesting, a lot of open space to the right of the pic.

Re: Rhyddings park history ??
What you call the 'old tower' was in fact a folly built around 1870, and has no connection with the old Hall except the stone may have been reused. lt was in fact built to look like that and is relatively unscathed, and hasn't unlike other parts of the park fallen into a state of disrepair.
