History

Woolton Hall is a former country house located in Woolton, a suburb of Liverpool, England. Built in 1704 and extensively renovated in 1772 by the influential architect Robert Adam the building is praised as the finest example of Robert Adam's work in Northern England. Throughout its 300-year history the building has been the residence of a number of notable figures, including the Earl of Sefton and Liverpool shipowner Frederick Richards Leyland.

During the later part of the 20th century the building went through a number of uses eventually becoming a school in the 1950s and later being abandoned with plans for its demolition. A campaign against its destruction was successful and the hall is now a Grade I listed building.

Where’s your little teddy bear

Sold it mate, got a good price after I got a very good commission from Hollywood for the horror bears i used to make, Kinda worked out after the horror director saw some pics of it in abandoned buildings

It deserves to be demolished on account of that decor!!

Another one that will sit there until it becomes un-viable to restore it in my opinion.

This building looks amazing - I came across it by chance while looking for fashion portrait locations - is there any chance you would be able to advise how you get permission to gain access inside the building? I’ve searched everywhere online and can’t seem to find any websites - any info would be great
