In 2018 it was named by the Victorian Society as a heritage building at risk of disrepair.[1] Initially built as a chapel for the Merseyside deaf community, the society said the "once grand" gothic structure was now in a "terrible state". For 20 years after it closed in 1986 it was run as a successful community centre for the local Igbo community but rising costs forced them out in 2007.[2]

The Merseyside Society for Deaf People (MSDP) is now a charity situated on Queens Drive retail park, west Derby. It has over 30 staff providing services across Merseyside,[3] and moved into a new building in 2017.
