Are these little houses where the Estate workers lived? Note the bell on the wall of the first house, no chance of being late for work here then.

Yes, that's the Bothy, I'm sure the bell was nicked some time ago, could be wrong though as the last time I went past there it may have been taken down for repair.

Was in Haigh last week and came across the workers cottages. All boarded up now. All green houses that have been used in the last year or so were empty as well, think the work force have been relocated to Mesnes park. Hope this isn't the beginning of the end of Haigh hall/grounds as we know them?
