Urgent repairs needed as Preston fight goes on for future of Freddie Flintoff's original field of dreams:
A report prepared by council officers says that six villas all have significant dry rot in timbers. So too do the gate lodge, chapel, school and master's house.
But specialists will attempt to save as much of the original fabric of all the buildings as they can due to the historic significance of the Harris Park site.Six planning applications affecting Harris Park dating back to October 2009 have been refused by the council. That was rejected in December after a campaign by conservationists, spearheaded by the late Prema Taylor from Fulwood.
That scheme also involves building a mezzanine floor in the chapel, converting six villas and the lodge into homes, extending the lodge and Glen Rosa and moving the war memorial from in front of the main building to the side of Garstang Road.lawyer Edmund Robert Harris left £300,000 to the city to set up a philanthropic trust in memory of his family.
