Liverpool Metropolitan Police are selling this building, so there was an opportunity to record the interior prior to it being sold on Friday 29 Oct 2021.
While the building has been closed to public access since circa 2012, it has remained in active use for the police until mid 2021.
Liverpool Police website suggests there are about 74 buildings such as this which together have a building maintenance cost of £12m per year. Rather than continuing to spend that, the police have decided to build new much larger complexes and to sell off these smaller buildings which are not suitable for modern policing.
Anyone could bid for this plot/property however as this is still classified as a police station, the building-type is "unclassified". Planning permissions would need to be approved by Liverpool City Council for change from its present use to any proposed new use such as restaurant, shop, community centre, residential, etc. Gaining any such permission can't be assumed to be approved.
