Not long after this photo was taken, the building was completely destroyed by fire. At the time it belonged to the Butler family. Charles being the owner. I remember he had a model railway set up, that extended from room to room on the ground floor. The shortgrove estate was I believe about 2000 acres of arable/pasture/woodland. I knew many of the farm workers. Happy days.
