The lastest I heard was that legal proceedings were suspended as the owner stated he had sold the property to his father...the funny thing is his father has the same name, so this has confused the Councils' legal team.
I'm not sure if it was concerned with a C.P.O. or an Urgent Works Notice. This was only recently, so some information may still be on the internet...Echo site, maybe.

Thanks for that, Marky.
It's all very interesting, but rather depressing.
All it seems to say about each building is: "Nothing is going to happen at the moment".
The Florrie for instance - work will not start until December.
Why can't they put a roof on it? They've got enough money!
At least a new roof was put on the Scandinavian Hotel.

no i think you have a good point!
We should have a big plot of land appointed for the final resting place of all of these wonderful characters of Liverpool's past!

Dam right missy, or turn st andrews into some kind of heritage centre and rememberance garden, with the pyramid intact, as a legacy to all that lie there

Hello Simon

I am at this time writing a Bicentennial History of the St. Andrew's Society of Baltimore, founded in 1806, so I am knee deep in Scotsmen in kilts. I should think there should be some interest among such Scottish societies in seeing that the chapel, garden, and graveyard, are restored and properly maintained.

Hi Simon

That's sad to hear about the poor state of the place. Aye Highland dress and Claymores appear called for!
