This is a big room almost as big as a banqueting hall.

OK!  I'll have a punt at Chirk Castle to get the guessing going.   :D

It's on a hillside but not Chirk Castle or any other castle.        In fact it's only about 200 years old.         Good try though Yorkie but you may want some more clues later.       ?{}?

I'm positive that Bill's little boy wasn't responsible for any of this damage!

Just had a bit of inspiration and wonder if it may be Hell Fire Caves at High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire?  :D

You're getting there Yorkie,        $good$        you've got the right country but it's further north. 

Here's one of the entrances that we went down and another one inside

If no one has guessed it by tonight then I'll post a photo of the building above and that will clinch it.

Well done Jack.   Spot on     and I hadn't even posted my photo of the house ( or what's left of it)         &well&         What gave it away?

Williamson Tunnels    Edge Hill  Liverpool     

We had a pre arranged tour there on Sunday and it was a great experience.   The charity is run by very hard working, knowledeable and enthusiastic volunteers and well worth a visit.

The Williamson Tunnels consist of a labyrinth of tunnels in the Edge Hill area of Liverpool, England, which were built under the direction of the eccentric businessman Joseph Williamson between the early 19th century and 1840. They remained derelict, filled with rubble and refuse, until archaeological investigations were carried out in 1995. Since then excavations have been carried out and part of the labyrinth of tunnels has been opened to the public as a heritage centre.

Thanks Hugo! It was a wild guess!

I had never heard of Williamson Tunnels until very recently when I saw them on a TV programme. Must admit it is somewhere I would really like to visit - but haven't yet!
