Park House. Park House was built in 1878 as a home for a wealthy Liverpool corn merchant and his family. The house, in the quiet district of Waterloo Park, is set in two acres of peaceful gardens and has its own fishing lake. It was later converted into a convalescence and nursing hospital, then a guest house, which was run by the Augustinian Sisters from 1902. Back in 2015, the trustees of that site carried out a review of its operations and "reluctantly" decided to close and sell off the Haigh Road site after the trustees said the property had become "increasingly untenable". It was demolished in 2025 after suffering from years of neglect and vandalism.

A 19th century building renamed Alexandra Hall, after Queen Alexandra 1902. It has been used for various function over the years, including as a music venue, in 1961 the Beatles played there, it has been a temporary school, and a magistrates court as well as council offices. It was demolished in 2003 and was replaced with a block of 20 flats built in keeping with the original and it has been named Alexandra Court.
