I was told how my grand mother was bombed in these buildings in the blitz and had to move out.
That would explain the missing part.
Also noted on the 1953 o/s map Gelling Hall, my mum and dad had the wedding celebrations there in 1943.
So this hall must have replaced part of the building at some time.
As a point of interest, Northumberland Building's had a nickname of Scotch Buildings.
