Comments on: Old St Lawrence WMC, and Tuke house, revisited http://yorkstories.co.uk/lawrence-st-wmc-tuke-home-revisited/ A resident's record of York and its changes Wed, 05 Mar 2025 17:45:53 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=4.2.38 By: Lisa @YorkStories http://yorkstories.co.uk/lawrence-st-wmc-tuke-home-revisited/#comment-646065 Tue, 03 Nov 2015 19:34:36 +0000 http://yorkstories.co.uk/?p=9659#comment-646065 Interesting … The Press reports today that local developers S Harrison have submitted a planning application to convert the building to student accommodation: see this link. Same company recently revealed plans for Groves Chapel.

I’ll look out for the application on the CYC online system and add the link once it’s open for comment.

Among the items thrown away were many old books! I imagine that it is listed and the owners wish to demolish it, therefore they’ll be waiting for the roof to become ‘unsafe’, allowing them to demolish it. Sadly, this is very common.
