Following my enquiries today with the estates department at county hall I can confirm that the sale of the former residential care home, Glendale House in Blackhall Colliery, was finally completed yesterday Tuesday 5 March.
Because of its deteriorating condition the building and its grounds had become something of a problem since it closed. In those terms the sale comes as a relief for residents nearby.
Complete details of the sale, including its possible future use, are not yet clear and more detail will follow on this site following further enquiries.
