Estoril House (Murder House) Barlaston - Stoke on Trent - Abandoned Places UK

The body of 62-year-old Alice Wiltshaw was discovered by her husband, Cuthbert, when he returned to their home, Estoril in Barlaston on Wednesday, July 16, 1952.

Cuthbert, a wealthy pottery manufacturer, had finished work for the day and returned to the 14-room mansion in the early evening. To his horror, he found Alice lying in a pool of blood in the kitchen.

The trail of blood, and other evidence, led police to the conclusion that Alice had initially been attacked in the kitchen, probably while she had been preparing the evening meal. The intruder had selected two heavy logs from the scullery and savagely beaten Alice about the head, knocking her senseless.

The assailant had then gone upstairs to steal property and rifle Alice’s handbag and, upon returning downstairs, had discovered that Alice had recovered consciousness and was now standing in the hallway. The attack began again as Alice tried to escape back towards the kitchen. Her assailant had followed her, hitting as he went.

All kinds of weapons had been used; vases, ornaments and finally a three-foot long barbed poker — all of which were found heavily bloodstained. Alice had finally made her way back to the kitchen and as she lay on the floor, dying, the callous killer had stabbed her through the head with the poker. He had also stabbed her in the stomach a number of times.
