Scalby Manor, formerly Wyndgate, was built for Edwin Brough in 1885. It is here where he bred and trained champion bloodhounds, including the famous Barnaby and Burgho. Unfortunately the local council gave permission last for the building and outhouses (including the kennels) to be demolished to make way for a new hotel complex.
Latest news: following an uproar from local conservationists and two of Englond's most prestigious Bloodhound organizations, the new owners have compromised somewhat, promising to both incorporate some of the original building into their plans and to exploit the Jack the Ripper connections through some sort of exhibit.
