Er...me post has gone funny. Its violated anuva one! Double eek!!

How come they don't change them into apartments or something?

Thats what i think peachy pud! Believe police used to train there?!

yep thats right

planning has been granted for apartments i think?

Ive been down over the weekend and taken some more photographs would have been nice to have been able to have some internal photos as well. Next week I will put a case togther and submit it to the secretary of state, it was last refused in 2005 (listed buildings concent). The design seems to echo some of the red brick buildings of port sunlight.

I'm rooting for you, mate! Hope your succesful

thanks all,

They want to build 34 apartments apparently:

The application for reconsideration has gone in to the department of culture media and sport (lol) they are who I had to appeal to with regard to its reconsideration regarding its listing.
The application regarding the apartments they will be constructed in the grounds in front of gibson house (the rear of the building)extract from a private email from a member of the council to me. >the owners, Nautilus UK had had in tracing the ancestors of the original owners to ask permission for non seafaring people to live there. < The council have also informed Nautilus UK, that I have re submitted an appeal! which I wasnt too pleased about.
I still have not been able to trace the architect of this building some of the history seemns patch, so patchy even nautilus appear to be struggling with it.
so, does anyone know anything about the ancestors? Nautilus do not?
their head office is in Mariners Park just across the road from Gibson House a contact name of Danny Kenny was given to me regarding correspondence.

No further progress not even an acknowledgement from the department of media and sport. It does make you wonder? anyway Labour will hopefully be out so, who knows.

Walked past about an hour ago. Two men in the grounds-lot of banging noise, cudnt see what they doing. Googled 'name on van'- numast- a maritime company. Hmmm?
Ohhh! Googled again-they own it. Doh! Sorry

They are probably just sealing up some of the human-sized mouse-holes that keep on appearing

there must be a restrictive covenant on the place.The deeds hold the answer to why they needed to find the ancestors.
