These pictures show the sadly dilapidated state of one of Merseyside's Grade I listed buildings.
Part of the Woolton Hall complex, which is 315 years old, was hit by a huge fire in May which has increased campaigners' fears for the long term safety of the building.
Woolton resident Chris Varnes is one of those leading the campaign to preserve the Hall.
He said: "The awareness campaign started many years ago from the Woolton Society and local residents who recall how the Hall was used for local weddings, parties and events.
"Although the Hall shut in 2006 it still holds many good memories for local residents and many people from south Liverpool.
"The Hall is falling into a poor condition due to years of neglect, with pigeons now living in the roof and top floor, and youths breaking in and damaging the interior.
"The Hall could be a fantastic venue again and bring in money to the local economy and to local businesses, and create so many jobs. It needs to be restored to its former glory and to the Grade I status it was awarded."
Chris added: "The fire in the annex building in the summer which destroyed it to rubble was a reminder of how close it came to losing so much history.
"Once you lose these important historical buildings and especially what this Hall represented to the maritime history of Liverpool then they are gone forever with its history."
Woolton Hall was built in 1704 but was radically enlarged and re-fronted by the celebrated Scottish architect Robert Adam in 1774-80.
Nicholas Ashton of the famous Liverpool merchant family bought the Hall in 1772. The Ashtons owned both salt mines in Hale and coal mines in St Helens as well as having other business interests in Liverpool. Woolton Hall would have been their "country house."
