Chris Twigg comments: &#8220;1870 is quoted in many places, but there is already a Hall marked on the 1857 Ordnance Survey map.&#8221; Colin Grice advises: &#8220;I suspect it would have taken several years to build so perhaps foundations were laid out well before the completion date. However it\u2019s more than likely \u2018something else\u2019 occupied the site before. Some of the trees close by are enormous and were almost certainly already impressive (protected in big house grounds?) when the place was built.&#8221; Whilst Robert Goundry remembers: &#8220;I stayed at Westerdale Hall around 1960, when it was a Youth Hostel. We walked across from the train at Levisham Station. I remember the blankets were very scratchy.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Image courtesy of Tina Dowey, thanks to Chris Twigg, Colin Grice and Robert Goundry for the updates.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\n<p>Westerdale Hall (formerly Westerdale Lodge) was used as a baronial shooting lodge of the Duncombe Estate, built c.1870 and later was a Youth Hostel.
