More about this scene
Designed by Robert Adam, Wenvoe was built in 1775 by the wealthy Yorkshireman Peter Birt. 11 years after this photograph was taken, it was destroyed by a fire so devastating that the owners could not afford to have it restored. With the exception of one of the pavilions (which was to enjoy a second lease of life as a clubhouse for a golf club) and the stable block, the building was demolished c1930.
