Yes, it's surely much earlier. Not sure that Thermopylae ought to be called Upton either.

Why was the house moved in the first place as the location it was in was beautiful.

Fantastic pictures and research .

This house is right next to the old grounds to where Bidston Court use to be on Vyner Road South does anyone know if it could of possibly been a gatehouse for the old house.Can anyone tell me the age of the house ?First time I,ve uploaded so bear with me if the pictures don,t show straight away.

Yes, it is the lodge to Bidston Court, the section of map below (taken from chriskay's post further up the thread) shows the lodge with the main entrance and drive to Bidston Court passing it.

It,s a beautiful house with really interesting carvings on any idea when it was built.I went up there yesterday as it is 10 mins away from me it looks like no-one is living there and I noticed 2 big metal storage containers in the garden.Which made me think work might be starting on it .

I hope its being restored, and not being flattened!

yerr

yerr what?

yerr what?

Aren't they moving it to Frankby

now there's an idea...

Just to confirm that the grounds of Bidston Court on Vyner Road South were handed over to the council and they are freely open to the public. Until fairly recently you could drive in and park up, but they have now put a post in the way to stop cars.

We are staying in this place now, i will get some photos up.
The interiour is stunning
