A historic former school building in West Derby which has been targeted by anti-social behaviour, is to be transformed into a series of new flats and houses.
Liverpool Council has signed off on proposals to convert the Grade II listed former Margaret Beavan School on Almonds Green into 11 apartments. The adjacent coach house will be extended and amended to become three dwellings while the remaining derelict science block on the site will be demolished to become 18 further properties - one down from initial plans submitted last year.
The former school, which closed for good in 2004, was named after Margaret Beavan, who became the first female Lord Mayor of Liverpool in 1927. She also stood to be a Member of Parliament in the general election two years later.
