A derelict tower block laid empty for around five years looms over houses in one part of Wirral.
Charter House is located on land between Church Street and Union Street in Egremont, Wallasey. The high-rise block used to house 42 flats and was owned by Wirral-based housing association Magenta Living, formerly Wirral Partnership Homes (WPH).
But the building became a financial burden to the social housing provider and it faced costs of £123,000 per flat for renovation work. A decision was made to close the building and Magenta sought planning permission to have it demolished in 2016.
