Asham House near Beddingham in East Sussex, ca 1900 (b/w photo)

Virginia and Leonard Woolf leased Asham House just before they married in 1912, and used the house as a holiday and weekend home until 1919. In 1932 Asham was sold to the Alpha Cement Company who had opened the nearby cement works. The proximity to the works eventually made the house uninhabitable. The cement works closed in the 1970s and became a landfill site which expanded towards Asham House. Eventually the owners of the landfill site applied to expand their workings to include Asham House. After a failed campaign by various Bloomsbury Group devotees to save it, Asham House was demolished 12 July 1994.
