Great pics, Tony. Yes I do remember the stocks which reminded me of the similar iron stocks on Water Street at Thornton near Crosby where the L5 Ribble Bus used to turn around by the Nag's Head. My Auntie Mary used to live at 28 Water Street so I was up there quite a lot as a lad.

Anyone know what is happening with the large house in sandfield park that has been derelict for years? I'm not sure what it's called but it can be seen from queens drive at the junction with derby lane (near west derby comp). There was a 'for sale' sign on it a few weeks ago, but it was taken down after just a couple of days. I hope it's been sold and wil be renovated soon.
Don't know what's happening at the moment, but I've read on another thread that the last occupants were The Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter Day Saints (not sure if that's the exact title, but everybody knows them as the "Mormons").
Hi Philip
You have the name correct, the Mormons or LDS Church.

You can always count on Americans to do the right thing - after they've tried everything else.

Hehe ya beat me to it! I SO want to own this property one day and live in it. Explored from top to bottom - video of the interior of the building too!
Can this place still be visited?
Total lockdown by the City Council. They've put massive secure metal plates up over every window and door, no one can get in any more - not that I've tried though.....
Chris George's post on the previous page says it's open from April to October though. Although he did say the source of the information might not be too accurate.
Now that depends whether you are talking about the Courthouse or Sandfield Tower ;o) Sandfield tower is in a very poor state and with no floor thoughout the building, the City Council wouldn't let anyone even try for a guided tour.
I took this in February, from Queens Drive.
I remember my visits in there, one in the darkest winter one morning and then a brighter morning in the summer.
