A view of Pimp Hall, dovecote and barn from the 19th century.
The hall was rebuilt in 1572 and remained a farm until the late 1920s.
The farm held many secrets including evidence of a secret tunnel that led to Friday Hill House cellars.
The hall was demolished in the late 1930s.
All that remains today is the Grade II listed dovecote and remnants of the tree-lined avenue that now leads to the recycling centre.
