Prospect Tower and attached wing, Knypersley, Biddulph - Staffordshire Moorlands
Built in 1828 by John Bateman as a gamekeeper's house and eye catcher on the Knypersley Hall estate landscape, this three storey octagonal tower constructed in red sandstone has been disused for more than 25 years and is in a poor state of repair. The reoccupation of the building is limited by the presence of bats. An options appraisal for the building has been completed, which makes recommendations for its future use.
