You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.163.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 17:28, 10 March 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

[[File:Acklam Hall Old.jpg|thumbnail|right|300px|Postcard view of Acklam Hall ((circa|1913))]]
'''Acklam Hall''' is a [[English Restoration|Restoration]] [[mansion]] in the former village, and now suburb, of [[Acklam, Middlesbrough|Acklam]] in [[Middlesbrough]], [[North Yorkshire]], England. It is a Grade I [[listed building]].<ref name="NHLE">((NHLE |num=1136868 |desc=Acklam Hall |access-date=20 October 2014))</ref>

==History==
It was built by [[William Hustler (draper)|William Hustler]] between 1680 and 1683.  A long-held, albeit unverified family tradition claimed that the Hall was visited by a [[royal progress]] by the then-sovereign, [[Charles II of England|King Charles II]], in 1684. The Hall was extended in 1845 and 1910–12.<ref name="NHLE"/> It continued to house the Hustlers until the conceding of ownership to Middlesbrough Corporation in 1928. After 1935 it was in public ownership and has been used as a [[grammar school]] and a [[comprehensive school]], known as [[Kings Manor School]], with the addition of several modern buildings to the grounds. It was then owned by [[Middlesbrough (borough)|Middlesbrough Council]]. Middlesbrough College inherited the site and continued to use it as a college building.<ref>((cite web|url=https://www.acklamhall.co.uk/history/|title=History of Acklam Hall &#124; Grade 1 Listed Building North East|accessdate=7 May 2023))</ref>

==House and gardens==
Internally the building features a main staircase with [[balustrade]] carved in spirals and helixes with pomegranate newel posts . The ceilings in the front part of the house have many [[stucco]] decorations of wreaths and fruit and some suspended griffons. There is a [[lantern]] window in the roof at the top of the staircase. The front room in the second storey spans the width of the house. It was probably a reception/ballroom originally, and has served various functions in education. It was the Assembly Hall for Acklam Hall Grammar School until the opening of the new hall around 1958. It then became the school's main library. Subsequently, the library moved to a new building, later demolished, and the space became the staff common room.

In front of the hall stretches the Avenue of Trees (as it is known locally), with two rows of large oak trees forming a corridor which was likely to have been the route by which visitors originally approached the Hall. These trees stretch from Acklam Road to Hall Drive (immediately in front of the Hall) – a distance of around 0.5 miles.

==Architectural details==
The coat of arms of the Hustler family can be seen above the main door, with the figure of a [[Talbot (dog)|Talbot]] on top. This extinct breed of hunting dog became the emblem of Acklam Hall Grammar School. The front door has a short [[portico]].

==Acklam Hall today==

Middlesbrough Council revealed plans in 2011 to sell the hall to developers. Controversially the Council sold the hall and land for £900,000, when other valuations put its worth at £4,000,000. As of 2016, the council had only received £120,000 of the money it was owed.<ref>BBC [[Look North]], 3 October 2016</ref><ref>((cite news|url=http://www.gazettelive.co.uk/news/teesside-news/2011/07/19/acklam-hall-could-be-sold-to-developers-84229-29076550/ |newspaper=Evening Gazette|title= Acklam Hall could be sold to developers|first= Sandy |last=McKenzie |date= 19 July 2011|access-date=20 October 2014))</ref> In 2014, Acklam Hall Ltd, which now owns the hall, confirmed that the building would be developed as a wedding venue with small spa, gym, conference rooms and a restaurant. The possibility of a medical centre and nursing home were also considered for the site. The financing of this would be offset against the building of 56 new houses, to the east and west of the hall, by Taylor Wimpey.<ref>((cite web |url=https://www.taylorwimpey.co.uk/proposed-developments/england/north-yorkshire/middlesbrough/acklam-hall |publisher=Taylor Wimpey |title=Acklam Hall – updates |access-date=8 May 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140508114829/https://www.taylorwimpey.co.uk/proposed-developments/england/north-yorkshire/middlesbrough/acklam-hall |archive-date=8 May 2014 |url-status=dead))</ref><ref>((cite news|url=http://www.thenorthernecho.co.uk/news/11062498.Decision_expected_soon_on_future_of_Grade_I_Listed_Acklam_Hall_in_Middlesbrough/?ref=rss |newspaper=Northern Echo|title=  Decision expected soon on future of Grade I Listed Acklam Hall in Middlesbrough|access-date=8 May 2014))</ref><ref>((cite news|url=http://www.gazettelive.co.uk/news/acklam-hall-residents-assured-development-6783517  |newspaper=Middlesbrough Evening Gazette|title= Pictures: How will proposed Acklam Hall redevelopment look?|access-date=8 May 2014))</ref>
