Stables and Coach House, Ashfield, Knotty Ash

The original stables and coach house of the mansion, Ashfield, built in 1848 by James Clemens, Lord Mayor of Liverpool 1775-6 and famous for its lovely gardens. He also erected the sandstone monolith, a signpost originally lit by a gas lamp, which stands opposite the gatehouse. In latter years Ashfield, renamed Thingwall House, was occupied by various institutions and eventually became an outpost of Liverpool City Council which use it for training. The mansion was damaged by an arson attack in 2003 and later demolished causing a public outcry. The stables have been renovated and tastefully converted into apartments.
