I've wanted to do this place for years but last time I knew it was open the hole was too small for a fat lad so I had to wait a little longer.
Finally got the heads up from Mr Blacksnake that it was fat lad accessible once more so along with Porky pig we went for an early morning mooch

HISTORY (Stolen from the interweb)
This was originally called Eddesbury, built about 1885 - one of the last grand mansions constructed in West Derby. Occupying the site of an earlier house, it was the home of prominent cotton broker Danson Cunningham. Mr Cunningham, who had a disabled son, was among the wealthy people who pioneered outings for children with disabilities. They would take the children and carers on outings to Wirral and elsewhere in their expensive cars. The Cunninghams knew Councillor Margaret Beavan, later Liverpool's first woman Lord Mayor. It is believed this is how Liverpool City Council acquired this building. The school was named after Miss Bevan, serving children in need of specialist education for decades. It is still owned and maintained by the city council and is used for filming, including scenes from Young Dracula. The building, with its fine terracotta decorations, is Grade II- listed.
EXPLORE
An early start was in order as Mr pig had piglets to look after so had to be back in the pen before the trough needed filling again.
Getting onto site was easy enough apart from the odd rotator cuff tear
Getting into the building itself was interesting though, we'll leave that there.
Once inside the condition is not bad in places but fooked in others and sadly we could find no access to the gym. Nice relaxed mooch though with no problems.
PICS
The place was a tad lacking for me so 5/10 but a good laugh with some good mates, thanks for looking
