History
Copied from another thread (thanks OP)
Dalton Grange stands on or near the site of a house which, in 1854, was called View Cottage and which, in the early 19th Century must indeed have had a splendid view northeast over the lush water-meadows of the Colne to the wooded hillside of the Fartown and Sheepridge areas.
Dalton Grange was built on the site in 1870 by Henry Brook of J.H. Brook & Sons of Bradley Mills.
In 1916 it was bought by British Dyes for conversion into a recreation club for their employees, Changing lifestyles meant the social club became redundant and in recent years Dalton Grange became a wedding venue until this too was shut down in 2017.

I had never heard of this place until i saw another report on here and decided to see if it was still doable, i hadn't seen many posts about it at all so i wondered if it was especially difficult or something. One morning i found myself with a free day so midweek i set off to check it out, parked right outside the gate and hopped over a little wall, then walked straight down the driveway. The house was a bit bigger than i expected but also seemed well sealed with what looked like a new camera up on the flat roofed part. I had a look round and took a few pics and went down the side to the back and quickly saw a way in, it was a bit tricky but nothing too difficult.
I had only seen pics from the inside of this place on here and from the start of 2021 but its definitely decayed a lot since then!
The once grand staircase has had a fall from grace
Other hallway features
Billiard table looks decidedly worse for wear too
View from window showing new camera thing (i think)
Other rooms
Down the cellar i was met by these creepy pictures
Lots of stuff left behind
In happier times
