The former neoclassical mansion house, Springwood, is dated 1839. It was originally built for plantation owner William Shand but was completed in 1844 under the auspices of Thomas Brocklebank of Brocklebank Shipping Line as his family residence. Bought by Liverpool Corporation in 1921 and passed through many hands in the following 50 years, it is now a residential nursing home named St Michael's Manor.
