But seriously Jeane if you are going to do that 'cleansing' at some point let me know, would be happy to get pictures and make a story of it for the frontpage.

Of course I will PaulB.
As I mentioned it won't be an investigation as I am respectful of people who have lost friends and family there, I know psychic's don't appeal to everyone and I don't usually investigate recent event's because of that (unless requested to do so by an individual in private.) The cleansing of a building is different.

Is a bit of a mission with a ladder - is a cellar and a long drop to get into !
Been nice knowing you :)

Brian, certainly!
Scotchie, err I'm not that great with heights / ladders.
If there was relatively safe access at some time I'd happily do it. I don't mind donning a hard hat (I've done that a few times!)

I see a story in the Express today about a businessman who wants to open an eatery (for a change) nearby, but isn't until action is taken to tidy up the site.
Part of the council's reply was "the rubble is largely hidden by the site hoardings, and is not considered to warrant further action at this time"
Interesting pictures in post 2, I'd always imagined that listed parts were sealed underground, but they're open. Surely they can made into a "tidy ruin" like old St James church.
Isn't this the sort of place that a section 215 should given to?
Who is the site owner anyway?

I feel pretty sure that the site comes under the late Sir Jimmy Godden's estate which no doubt has complications.

A s215 notice can just as easily be served on the executors of an estate as it can on a living owner. Even without rebuilding the superstructure the basement would make a cool bierkeller.

I seem to remember this was brought up at the Scrutiny meeting over DTIZ at The Discovery Centre last July (was it really nearly a year ago, how time flies!).
The sticking point was said to be English Heritage, since the ruins have been exposed they would rather the site stays that way so they are exposed to view, even if they are hidden behind rubble, weeds and hoardings.

I sometimes wonder if English Heritage really do care about our historic buildings so we can enjoy them.
They closed the castle over the winter period.
They more or less ignore Western Heights leaving that virtually to the care of the excellent volunteers.
The Crypt area they seem to prefer to gradually rot away through complete neglect, to become the eyesore we all can not help but see.

There was a notice there and on adjacent buildings a couple of years back instructing the owners to tidy up their properties.
