it's going to be a new gp surgery for greenway road surgery and i think victoria health centre. total waste of money when the greenway road surgery is only a few years old. wirral pct and the nhs biggest load of money wasters i have ever come across
The Devaney Medical Centre sent me a survey form saying that they wanted to move to Saint Caths. One of the reasons they gave was that the population was expanding, so I wrote back saying that if the population's expanding, surely they should stay where they are. Fortunately, that's what they've done.
I think they just get bored with the surroundings and just want to move every now and then. Glad Stein Centre is staying - what else is getting demolished - and why?
Demolishing the main building which is behind the church, the one with what was the main entrance beneath the big water tower. A few other smaller buildings are going as well.

Its very sad indeed. Our Admin woman said that the demolition started Wed afternoon last week. At this rate i reckon the remaining bit of the structure wont be there next week! I was surprised at how little rubble there appeared to be in comparison to the size of the building? Im assuming that the jcb driving all over the rubble 'compresses' it??

They will be filling in the basements as they go.

another fine old building ends up in rubble! so sad to see all these old buildings with a history going!
That is why it is important that everyone takes photographs of the surrounding area. You never know when old buildings are demolished suddenly, or, which is the usual practice on the Wirral, they are burnt to the ground.
Copy the pics on 'Street View' for how it was! I remember in the '40s-'50s, going to school, looking over the high wall from the top deck of the 51 bus and wondering what dramas were going on in there.
I was under the impression the clock house was a listed building - typical wirral pct a law unto themselves - when it suits demolish. Biggest load of money wasters

I looked it up a while back on English Heritage site - no listing at all on the workhouse building - I guess there must be plenty of examples around so this one wasn't needed...
'They' have kept the original workhouse entrance and plan to incorporate it into the new building. I hear its being stored on sight at the mo. It was there 'in situ' for much of the demolition but then removed, for fear of damage.
Update. The features to be incorporated into the new building are the gate house, entrance arch, a cornerstone, a decorative feature plaque and a door headstone.
Been on site here today, had a walk round the block that is still standing, Remaining block is due to come down at the end of this month. It's was like going back a hundred odd years in time, very impressive.
I nursed there in the 1960s, the last time I was there was about 1984 to visit my dad,who died on the same ward that I worked on,it's so sad and now it's all gone as though none of that ever happened, but I suppose we all have to move on.
I took my nursing final exams at St Caths in 1972. I visited for many meetings in later years. A sad loss of another historic building. I do hope they have ethically and carefully deposited any information, (paperwork, records etc) with the local archives or another part of our history will be lost.

Please do not adjust your mind, there is a slight problem with reality
