The wall that was obviously built around it looked like it had been there quiet a while when I first cut through there in the late 1980s.

Does anyone know why this one of the houses became derelict and why nonone has ever tried to restore it nor has there been any attempt to knock it down.
Some years ago there appeared to be a plan to sell the whole site off for conversion to residential use and apartments but nothing appeared to come of it.
The site must have quite a history - perhaps one day someone will write one?

I was brought up in the FCH and spent some time in Cosh 15 which is the one burned out next to what was the club and over the road from the church - that was. I did attend some of the reunions, but having seen the mess they had made of the church, I was very sad and did not go again.
