'Brookside' cul-de-sac up for auction

Published Friday, Nov 28 2008, 11:16 GMT | By Alex Fletcher
The homes used in Channel 4 soap Brookside have been put up for auction.

The 13 properties on Brookside Close, West Derby were purchased by Mersey Television in 1982 and continued to be used until the show was axed in 2003.

In 2005 the buildings were bought by developers, but the houses have been left empty since then and require repair work.

The auction is scheduled to take place on December 17 and the collective properties are expected to reach between £550,000 and £600,000.

Brookside featured early acting roles for Anna Friel, Ricky Tomlinson and Sue Johnston. It also included famous storylines such as consensual incest and the first pre-watershed lesbian kiss on British TV.
