The tiled floors, sweeping staircases and stained glass windows were so benign compared to some of the brutal school buildings
Holly Lodge started out life in 1828 as a detached Georgian house in West Derby, Liverpool. The house became part of Holly Lodge Girls’ College, and was in use until 2015 when a new college was built within the grounds. The building is due to be demolished to make way for nearly 60 new homes being built by Redrow. The site includes two Grade II listed buildings, Fremont and Sandheys – which will be saved as part of the proposals. Since its closure, the buildings have been used for filming, including sets for a police station, a prison and a hospital. The sets comprise mainly corridors and only a few other rooms.
