Redcliffe, Wellington Rd, and Gibson House - 16th Jul 2013 6:34pm
Hi,
Wasn't sure where to post this, so sorry if someone has to move it!!
I'm very interested in what's happening with 2 great houses in the Wallasey/New Brighton area!
The first is Redcliffe, one of the villas in Wellington road, looking out over the New Brighton sea front. Ever since I first really noticed it, about 4 years ago, absolutely nothing has been done with it! It had been converted into flats, but has been abandoned and is starting to fall apart. There's been a skip on the drive the entire time, but no-one there!! It could be a fantastic place to live if someone actually did something with it!!
The second is Gibson House Memorial Home. Originally built by Andrew Gibson as a Memorial Home for Widows of Seamen, it comprised of purpose built flats, and is situated on Maddock Road in Seacombe, overlooking the Mersey. Again nothing's been done with it for years! Unfortunately it isn't Grade II Listed, like the above house, so I have a feeling it will fall into the 'wrong hands' and be lost!! I know there's lots of Asbestos warning signs all around it, so I imagine its gonna be an expensive thing to undertake!
It's when I see houses like these that I wish I was a Millionaire!! Just so I could buy them off the owners and look after them!!
So does anyone have any info about what's being done with them?
