A couple of months back (June 2009) I was contacted by a reader of the Parlington History site explaining that he had lived in the old hall when he was a child in the early fifties. He pointed out that he had been born at Hazelwood Castle (Used as a maternity Hospital in the post war period) and had come to Parlington after he and his mother left the hospital. His father working as a forestry tractor driver on the estate was resident along with his wife and an elder brother in what was then termed Parlington Hall Cottages, namely the West Wing, was divided into two cottages.
