I would like to say thanks to Roger, Sofia and Louisa for their kind comments following my post here. I have recently contacted SAVE Britain's Heritage to ask them for their advice on how to pursue the ideas and had some new ones. I will report back on this site in the next few days about them.
In the meantime, here's another idea for consideration by those interested in Piercefield's future. Why don't we set up a 'Friends of Piercefield Park' organisation? This could act as source of news about the place, those with an interest in it and its history and attempts to rescue it. It could have a small membership fee (say, £5 a year) and a newsletter. It could pool ideas about all this. If (i) no private developer is keen on taking over the place and (ii) the council (allegedly) is not bothered about it shouldn't we do something ourselves? Surely (to use a famous phrase)'we cannot go on like this' ?
