Seen through the gate to the site from the footway on the public road outside, this structure on Well Lane is all that remains of the Willerby Manor Hotel. The hotel closed during the Covid 19 lockdown in 2020 and it was later announced that it would not re-open. The original manor house dated from the late 19th century, was converted to a hotel around the start of the 1960s and later considerably extended. Geograph does not appear to have any pictures of it pre-demolition; the following link is to a history of the building and includes a number of maps and photographs: https://u3asites.org.uk/files/a/awake/docs/willerbymanorpart2.pdf The site has been sold and will be developed by Duchy Homes into an estate of 50 houses, under the banner of 'Manor Grange'.
