Good afternoon, having had a wander around the woods looking for the structures I've seen on this site, I came across a building near the slabbering baby that I can't find any information on anywhere.....does anyone know what it was?
I managed to get a photo of a corridor inside, as someone had removed some of the bricks blocking up the windows. I would post photos if I knew how!

Re: Building in Adel woods
Could you be referring to the low stone building over the wall opposite the "slavering baby"?
If it is, that would be the old cafe where customers would be served with tea and sandwiches on fine days thoughout the summer in days gone by.
This would be in the 40's and 50's! My Mum took me there many times back in those days.I loved it!
On fine Sundays ,Adel Craggs as we called it, would be packed with people enjoying the countyside there. It had all you wanted as a child. Rocks to clamber up, a stream to paddle in and a bottle of pop from the café! Simple pleasures and all gone now!

Hi zscort.
I hope you do not mind me adding this photo that I took on April 4 2014 of what will likely be the building. I have heard that the building may have been a toilet associated with the café.

It's just toilets, my friend climbed in there and it isnt much besides the usual alcohol containers and rubble. Sorry to disappoint
