I am fairly local and it was completely renovated inside some years back. I went there a few times in the 60's when it regularly opened for garden fetes.

Its Magnificent. Any idea what the scaffolding is for, the roof maybe?
@PressTheRedDot2 жыл бұрын
It looks as though the scaffolding is for restoration work on the walls. Early films that feature this building show the outside being in much better condition.

A sad sight compared to how I remember it in the 1950's

I would be interested to know if you received an intimidating message from Callum in London and what your answer was. I had a similar video which I removed after his message via FB. I was flying much higher as I stick to CAA rules. Nice video though if not too low and invasive.

No horrible messages - did run into security guard on site though (not sure if that's the guy you mean; slight build, balding, angry).

Also - I am VERY mindful of how/where I fly. When it comes to actual people and privacy - or wildlife - I avoid or stay wide. With this abandoned and derelict building I decided to capture this for prosperity and the world. Nothing lasts forever....

@@PressTheRedDot Mereworth Castle is certainly not abandoned, it’s owned by the guy that owns Highland Spring water. I had an intimidating mail advising me to take it off KZfaq and as they use high velocity rifles in the grounds it could be dangerous to enter the land which I was not.

@@johngilham Apologies - got mixed up with Hamilton Palace - which certainly is abandoned. Yeah, this one was a flight from the road outside - made after a conversation with a well versed local old lady who said that it's been that way for as long as she can remember (post James Bond days)
