AN ENORMOUS fire has erupted at a historic Grade I-listed manor house.
Woolton Hall in Liverpool was engulfed in flames yesterday evening, with fire crews battling through the night to extinguish the blaze.
The site, built in 1704, had previously served as a hotel, an army hospital, a convent and a school but had fallen into risrepair in recent years.
Merseyside Fire and Rescue Service (MFRS) rushed to the scene at around 8.15pm yesterday, finding the three-storey stone-built building “fully involved in [a] fire around 40 by 30 metres in size”.
People have been warned to avoid the area.
