These negatives are confusing!

But it IS the Chateau Impney in Droitwich, where I had my last Xmas Lunch in the UK!

It has been closed down by the Covid problem, dunno if it will ever be resurrected. As a 'Graded' building, it can't be knocked down.

Thanks Wodders. You gave them a chance. Used to go there and back in a day. One hell of a flog.
