Can anyone remember the ruins at the end of sturton road ?, we thought it was some kind of abbey,used to play round there when i lived on margate drive in the prefabs,long before the park was there,think there was allotments then,i cant find any info on the ruins at all

Where was Sturton road exactly ? Not shown on current Google maps.

I've an idea what the ruins might have been if it's the location I'm thinking of.

Osgathorpe to Scott Road?
Osgathorpe Cottage?

I believe it was Osgathorpe hall,its now gone I think flats are there now.

Thank you for that,i seem to remember in the dim and distant past Osgathorpe hall being mentioned to me before

With you now mart. Yes the ruins you remember were at Osgathorpe Cottage - I think there is an old people's home on the site now.

Here are some photos of the derelict oubuildings from 1950...

The outbuildings were much older than 1870, probably part of a 16th century farm originally.

i used to walk over the ridge to School, depending how muddy it was i would either walk through the horses field, or go over the top through what was left of the cottage/hall,spent many hours at crabtree pond if i could get through the snicket gate next to the house. I live in Spain now and was just remembering the early 60's
