Thanks for uploading this. We visited Ightham Mote today, lovely and interesting place even though Goldie looks she couldn't care less!

My grandfather was one of the owners that sold Ightham mote to mr robinson. I met him as about an 8 year old in 1972. My grandfather and 2 others bought it at the end of the war to save it from being demolished for the lead and the stone post war. Bought for £5500, sold for £5500

Great story. The very thought that someone could consider knocking down this historical gem is incredible. Went there today, the National Trust are doing a fantastic job.

Difficult to imagine Blue Peter showing anything so high brow today.
