[SC_NEWS] Skindles

[Ian Dickerson]

This from the Maidenhead Advertiser:

"DERELICT eyesore Skindles hotel has been sold to property developers as
part of a £30.25m deal which will see neighbouring New Taplow Paper Mill
close by the end of October.
St Regis Paper Company Ltd, which owns the 45-acre site, announced yesterday
(Wednesday) land including of the paper mill site, Skindles and the
Severnside paper recycling depot has been sold to developer Watchword - a
subsidiary of Towntalk Ltd."

Skindles is where Charteris wrote a number of Saint stories and indeed,
features in a couple as well.

Assuming I recover from my holiday then courtesy of Saint Richard Usher I
shall make a fleeting appearance on BBC Radio Berkshire on Tuesday talking
about the site's Saintly heritage.
