Paul,
As you probably know the MOD treated the Liverpool Scottish Museum very badly, they gave the Museum accommodation at The Grange after Score Lane closed, although without any formal tenancy. The Museum Trust then spent a great deal of time and money creating the best/most friendly Museum I have ever visited.
The MOD then decided to sell the whole of The Grange ( in one auction lot ) including the parts occupied by the Liverpool Scottish Museum and Liverpool Scottish Cadets.
The purchaser seemed happy to have the Scottish in part of the building for some time but eventually said that he wanted to develop the whole site and in effect evicted the Museum and Cadets.
What really annoys me is that the redevelopment never took place and like you, every time I go past the building some one else is in it and the Liverpool Scottish Museum could still have been there.
Peter
