Gwalia in Liverpool, England is a Grade II listed building. [1] It was built between 1851 and 1854 and was formerly known as Sandfield Tower.
The building was built for Joseph Edwards, a merchant who traded with South America, from 1857. [2] Over the years, the building changed hands several times until it was bought by the Church of Christ, Scientists of the Fourth. The building has been disused since the 1980s. [3]
The building is in a bad state of repair and Liverpool City Council has been in discussions with its owners since 2004 to take action on its state, threatening them with a compulsory purchase order. [4] The owners, Quirefast, claimed in 2016 that they were speaking with potential buyers who were interested in converting the buildings to apartments. As of late 2023, the building remains in a poor state. [3]
