The remains of the hall can be explored, though very little remains. The hall was the ancestral home of the Bradshaws and passed to the Isherwoods. It was demolished in 1959 after it was offered to the council in 1954 by the writer <a href="/wiki/Christopher_Isherwood" title="Christopher Isherwood">Christopher Isherwood</a>, who had inherited it. By this time the hall had been ransacked by vandals and looters. Much of the estate is now residential housing or the school. The old hall foundations can be seen on the corner of Marple Hall Drive. There is a plaque on a piece of stone, the only remaining lintel from the house. The shutters from its windows are restored and on display in Marple Library. The hall overlooked the <a href="/wiki/River_Goyt" title="River Goyt">River Goyt</a> and it is still possible to walk from there to the river following a pathway which once led to the Dooley Lane entrance to the estate.
