Great footage. I lived near it from 70s-80s and was shocked when I saw it in the 90s. Even more shocked now of course as there's only a bit of the western and eastern elevation intact and only at ground floor level. So rare to see any footage this old. Shame really, we lived in view of it, but only had a handful of photos which my mother lost. I have a few from 90s onwards but nothing really old. I can see in your footage that the eastern wall is intact and the northern side too, which was where the servant's quarters were. It was lived in until 1954 and reasonably intact by the late 70s despite 25 years of neglect. Between the 1980s and 1990s was when the main demise happened. There must have been a big collapse at some point, maybe during a storm.
I remember it like that. It's made me realise just how much of it has gone in the last 15 years or so!
