Hi all! Having read the book Railway Ghosts and Phantoms by W B Herbert I became strangely fascinated by the Shankend Manor story. However, I have looked on various OS maps from the period and done quite a large amount of research on the subject including a phone call to the park keeper for that area and can find absolutely no trace whatsoever that such a place even existed! There is quite a lot of information regarding Stobbs Camp though. Maybe the story has been changed for some reason to make it a little more interesting? A derelict mansion is perhaps a bit more atmospheric than a derelict army camp......Who knows? The two railway photographers mentioned in my book were Bishop Eric Treacy and Derek Cross who were both quite well known.I would welcome any more info on this as its all a bit of a mystery! What does everyone else think? .....Cheers.
