Abandoned castle near Manchester (Buckton Castle)

Buckton Castle was constructed and demolished in the 12th century. It's one of the first stone castles to be constructed in England.
Located in Carrbrook, Stalybridge.
I also discover a old warehouse that I'm not sure of its purpose and Oakwood Mill which is a 19th century grade 2 listed building.

Hello @pamelaphelan, thanks for the comment. I have one planned for there at some point. I use to love going there as a kid. Very interesting isn't it. 🙂

[@pamelaphelan177]

@geekymanc yes it is really interesting, apparently it was used to warn the Romans of any attacks, they used to light it inside and it was open to the public as a sweet shop at some point in time but not sure the date.

I wasn't sure if the geekymanc would become the cheekymanc and break into that factory! Looked pretty well fortified though. Hey that ditch is really deep. I wonder if anyone has been up there with a metal detactor.

[@geekymanc]

Hahaha, it wouldn't surprise me @ReetBoaTellThee. Apparently there was gold and silver hunters up there for many years as one rumour stated there was hidden treasure.
