One of Liverpool’s most distinctive pubs is moving closer to a new lease of life.
Built in 1926, The Glasshouse was a mock Tudor pub at the junction of Cunningham Road, Mill Lane and Edge Lane in Old Swan. Last year, Liverpool Council’s planning committee gave the go-ahead for plans to turn the building into ground floor commercial units and first floor residential units after it has stood vacant for the past two years, boarded up and covered in graffiti.
Now, further applications have been made to progress the renovation of the building, which includes two one-bed apartments on the upper floors of the building. A series of four dormer windows are being installed - subject to local authority approval - to meet planning requirements for living arrangements.
