THE next steps in transforming Grimethorpe Hall into a potential homeless veterans’ shelter are being taken by the steering group behind the ambitious project.
The building has been derelict for decades but work is being done by the newly-formed Grimethorpe Hall Community Interest Company in a bid to inject a new lease of life - and purpose - into the 346-year-old hall which has been left to rot in recent decades.
