The Florrie


The Florrie under wraps
 'The Florrie' is The Florence Institute for Boys in the Dingle area of Liverpool. It's a magnificent building that fell into a sad state of decay. Now being restored (the reopening is scheduled for Feb 2012) it is currently completely under wraps. This view doesn't give a true idea of the size of the building, but I liked the 'community garden' notice, the man with the dog and the two names on the wall. It's all about narrative!

  1. No longer under wraps - The Florrie reopened in April (2012). It's a magnificent building and a wonderful restoration. Visit it when you are in Liverpool - http://theflorrie.org/
