New Hall, Pontefract
New Hall was an Elizabethan mansion built in 1591 by Edward Talbot, from a design by Robert Smythson, the architect of the famous Hardwick Hall in Derbyshire. New Hall was a defensive site in the English Civil War, and suffered from cannon fire. Later, lead was stripped from New Hall's roof; its timbers started to decay; and eventually the building became a ruin. Finally, this historic building was demolished with explosives in 1965. This photograph was taken by my father, in probably either 1964 or 1965.
