My first report guys, hope you like. me n ravendark had fun doing this one.
here's some history as i haven't seen this one on here up to now.quite image heavy.

stands in a 500 acre country park in the suburbs of Liverpool. The large quadrangular house is the ancestral home of the Molyneux family.

From the 16th century the Catholic Molyneux family were rivals to the Stanley Earls of Derby for the control of Liverpool.

They lived originally in Sefton but in 1575 Sir Richard Molyneux built a new house at Croxteth. Remnants of this building can be seen embedded in the south wing.

In 1702 Richard, 4th Viscount Molyneux, added the west wing - the most impressive part of Croxteth Hall. The 4th Viscount converted to Anglicanism and in 1771 the 8th Viscount became 1st Earl of Sefton.

During the 19th century the family received huge profits from the expansion of Liverpool over the family's estates.

This new wealth enabled the family to build large extensions to Croxteth Hall.

In 1874 - 77 the 4th Earl engaged T.H.Wyatt to add south and east wings, incorporating the 16th century building.

The vast north range was added in 1902-04 by the 5th Earl, to designs by John MacVicar Anderson. This range closed the courtyard and Croxteth Hall became a fully-equipped Edwardian mansion.

In 1952 a fire started in the west wing and gutted many of the important interiors at Croxteth Hall.


Paranormal facts for those interested:

Many spirits are reported to be haunting Croxteth Hall including, a boy who stands by the fireplace in the dining room, a shadow of a figure in the billiard room, and the 6th Earl of Sefton walking around the tearoom.

also footsteps are heard along the corridors of the hall and the smell of tabacco can be detected in the servants room. There are constant electrical faults reported and when a electrician comes to mend the fault, they find nothing wrong.

and now the pics
