With regards to St Georges - they're keeping a fair portion - not just admin. Also being retained is the original male and female wards either side of the main entrance building, the chapel, the tower and also another rear admin building

Interesting, when I went in March there was barely anything other than admin left

I've been told that demolition is now fully underway at Harperbury, a friend went last Friday and 1-7 have been knocked down unfortunately. Can anyone clarify this - just made an account to say this as we wanted to have a look around at some point.
