Mansion House has been put up for sale THE Friends of Victoria Park (FOVP) said they hope that community access to Mansion House will be maintained following the sale of the landmark building. The Star reported in January that the iconic building in the grounds of Victoria Park is being put up for sale by Age UK Mid Mersey, who have owned Mansion House since 1993. The independent charity that helps local older people, announced it has reluctantly decided to sell The Mansion House. The building has been been home to day centre sessions and activity classes as well as the base for befriending and helping hands services.
