Eeerie photos show an abandoned mansion once home to a treasure trove of antiques until it was raided by a gang who tied up and attacked its elderly owner.
The neo-Gothic-style property with its stone turrets, gargoyles and arches was built by John Haworth, the son of wealthy merchants, in 1811.
Known as Cliffe Park Hall, the Staffordshire house, which lies near Rudyard, was passed to his cousin and lover Fanny Bostock when he died in 1831.
