Last chance to save Ron's Place as 'palace of art' goes under hammer

The future of a spectacular 'palace of art' hidden behind the humdrum exterior of a red-bricked three-storey terrace hangs in the balance as the building that houses it goes to auction.

The home of Ron's Place, a fantastical grotto of romantic heroines, ancient Greek and Egyptian gods and mythical beasts contained within the ground floor flat of 8 Silverdale Road, Oxton, goes under the hammer tomorrow, with bidding set to close 24 hours later on March 1.

The landlord's decision to sell the property was announced in November, to the dismay of the Wirral Arts and Culture Community Land Trust, whose members have maintained the flat since its discovery in 2019.
