Marsden Old Hall in Nelson which dates back to
1560 and used to belong to the Walton Family has undergone a £500,000 restoration funded by the Council and National Lottery's Heritage Lottery Fund as part of a £1.8 million Marsden Park Regeneration Project.
The building has stood empty for several years and now boasts Park Keeper's office's as well as special teaching and meeting rooms which can be used to run workshops and demonstrations for visitors.
Before closures, it was used as a Lunatic Asylum, Council storage site and recently a changing room for football teams.
If you are part of a group or school and are interested in demonstrations and workshops, you can contact them on 01282 661 600 / 01282 661 611
I applaud the council and local groups who have helped with this, all historical buildings should be preserved.
