where was / is this please? It's a beautiful building.

The building was part of Carneys farm off Warrington rd Abram.Entrance is facing Park lane.To the left of the building is a field and then the canal.The building was pulled down in the 60's I think and a new house built nearer to the road.Inside the building there was flagged floors and low ceilings and beams.If you look you can see the gateposts, these had a date on them 14??.I was told that the date wasn't genuine.I often wonder what happened to the posts when the Hall was pulled down.

They were at the new house i think dont know if they are still there
