| Comment | Ah, The Palais. That nickname, in turn, came from the actual Hamilton Palace, which was a massive country house that was in the area until the 1920's. One of the grandest estate houses in Britain and residence of various Royals, Duchesses and Dukes before it fell into disrepair.
Yeah, the village was pretty much fucked. Even if they didn't pull it all down it would have crumbled to the ground eventually anyway. Built on old coal mines that we're constantly filling with water, so subsidence, etc. |
