Hi Coxie, welcome to the forum & website which I hope you'll explore in full, we're lucky to have such a good resource.
As per my first post, my only experience of Redmarley is from visiting my elderly Aunt Hilda Brace nee Gittings when I was a child in the 70s, she lived in a lovely old detached black & white cottage with chickens & plum trees in the large garden.... you can imagine how upset I was when (like you) I tried to find it and found it had been demolished and built over. Progress I guess...

Re Phera Hall, I think you misunderstood my post, it's still standing and is a care home again. However while Googling it I did find some photos suggesting it had previously been in unoccupied and in some disrepair and the grounds being used by "new age travellers" until they're eviction in 1990.

Nowadays it looks rather better again, here are some photos

For more general posts about Redmarley I suggest you may care to lookout for the book I mentioned in my earlier post.
