The sale of Brierley Hall has finally taken place for an unknown figure. At last it was great to see the incongruous red brick extension that Barnsley council added in the early 1960s flattened to the ground. The new owners are Saul Construction, the same directors that own Burntwood Court Hotel. A scheme for the site has not yet been finalised but lets hope they decide to refurbish the old hall back to its original beauty. Fingers crossed.
