The Seaman's Orphanage, Newsham Park.

Oh so is thaaaaat what that building is.. my wife used to work next door in the NHS building and I'd always wondered, thought it was an old school. Shame it's derelict - are there any plans for it?

Queen Victoria visited it 1886 (she stayed at the Judge's residence on Judge's Drive). I heard it was to be demolished and apartments built on the site. Don't know if that is going to happen though. I could tell you a few stories about the place that would make your hair stand on end...

marky.that's very good.How long has it been there?Who did it ?

[marky]

^ I don't know who did the sculpture. The tree was cut down about 4 years ago, I think. It used to be surrounded by its' own railings, all on its' own.

Good picture. I have passed that building so many times and yet I have never noticed the Liver bird. It's quite prominent too
