The building was empty for a number of years until a developer took on the challenge to spend £2 million on converting the building. Unfortunately the company ran into financial difficulties and the project was halted. Luckily another company saw the merit in the scheme and completed the work. Read more about it here.

I'm intrigued to know where you're standing to take this shot, martin?
ReplyDeleteAny ideas when this building was built? I'm trying to figure out where Ashton County Court would have been in 1902. Was St Michael's Court (next to the church) ever used as such?
