Didn't Dave 'Oy' post a photograph from a similar angle lately, it looks familiar.
There is a photo similar to this on photo-a-day (look at January 8th in the p-a-d archives), but there is what looks like a fountain in front of of the hall. I saved it as my screensaver and when my son saw it, he said, "There's no fountain there, Mum, I'm sure", but my granddaughter said, "There IS, Dad....I always circle round it on my bike when we go to Haigh Hall". I googled a few photos of the hall on Google Images, taken through the years, and some show a fountain in front of the door and some don't! Can anyone shed any light on this, please?
I think the Hall looks quite eerie in black and white photos.
Didn't the last occupants of The Hall who left a while ago put the fountain from the fish pond in front of The Hall? I don't think I dreamt it..I hope they didn't take it with them!
Irene, I think the fountain first appeared a few years ago when it became a hotel and wedding venue

The fountain is only some stonework, its never been cemented in and fountainised
