I can see the headlines now....

"oldest house in Wirral in arson probe"

That is the councils answer to everything if they want to bend the rules they pay kids to set places on fire etc, but of course this does not happen its only a conspiracy theory towards wbc

Signs of life there now; boards off windows. It seems to be occupied, or at least being looked after. Good to see. I was worrying about it.

yes that is great news, we seem to be losing too much of of our heritage and roots. That building in its own rights has more history attached to it which would be well worth researching and as somebody has previously said, it has stayed standing throughout many changes.

Yes I have moved in, though it's more like camping at the moment while I work my way through the house cleaning and sorting out what needs to be done. Insulating the roof is top of the list and it's a pretty dirty job! Am thinking of having a wallpaper/paint-stripping party one Saturday in the next couple of weeks with plenty to eat and drink - anyone fancy coming along? If so send me a message and I'll let you know when... smile

Not as young as I used to be (well, obviously, as I don't have a Tardis!) but am keen on gardening, and have often passed the place and wished I could give the garden some TLC. Happy to lend a hand when that stage is reached, and suggest plants that might suit the character of the building.

Hmm - tried to PM you but got a message about having reached my limits of message participants. Darned if I know what that means! Anyway...
I don't think I have the stamina to take on gardening work as a general thing, to be honest. Birds House is a bit of a special case to me, as I've passed it so often and thought how lovely it would be to have the garden in keeping with the old building.

However, if you want someone to come in and give your place a 'one-off' going-over to make it more manageable, I know someone reputable who might do that. She and her friend run a small gardening business. I don't think they have any regular maintenance slots available, but they could maybe do a 'spring clean' or similar. They topped a large garden hedge for my daughter when she moved house. Let me know if you'd like more info on that.
