Chairman Councillor Maelor Williams recently reported to a meeting of the authority’s executive and said there had to be a balance between a scheme that was viable for the long-term future of the hall and the demands of English Heritage in terms of the building’s listed status. He said £7,000 a month was being spent on 24-hour security - a cost being shared between the council and the college.

Taxpayers face £86,000-a-year bill for empty building
8:00am Monday 3rd October 2011
AN empty grade I-listed building is costing a cash-strapped town £86,000 a year to secure until it is sold to a developer.
Acklam Hall, in Middlesbrough,which was built in 1628, is expected to be restored and used as a conference centre with a health village and housing in its grounds.
However, as certain parts of the contract have had to be renegotiated and the developer has not yet met the necessary conservation and design standards required by English Heritage, a planning application has yet to be submitted.
The only grade I-listed building in the town, owned by Middlesbrough Council and Middlesbrough College, Acklam Hall has been vacant for three years.
Originally built by William Hustler as a family home, it has been in public ownership since 1935, occupied by Kings Manor School and then Middlesbrough College until students moved into a new campus in Middlehaven.

see proposed plan for Acklam Hall
http://www.howarthlitchfield.co.uk/inde ... &Itemid=53

------------- May 25, 2003 "Acklam Hall Grammar School - coat of arms update" --- Sir, You refer to the Acklam Hall Coat of Arms. Two points: The Hustler Family that owned the manor originally had a coat of arms that was adopted by the school 300 hundred years later. It appears in various places in the ceiling plasterwork. I am not a Heraldist but the shield was 'topped' by a dog called a Talbot. This was an old country hunting hound, much favoured by the nobility. The shield itself contained two birds plus a band with three fleurs de lys. The motif was "Aut Nunquam Tente Aut Perfice" - translated variously as 'nothing less than thoroughness' or ' work or get out'!!! The dog (Talbot) on the blazer badge is simple - it was much harder to embroider the full coat of arms. In the old days, all blazers had green, black and silver braid around the edges also.

Middlesbrough doctors plan move to Acklam Hall site
Jul 13 2010
by Sarah Judd, Evening Gazette
PEOPLE across Teesside are invited to give their views on the proposed relocation of two GP surgeries to the site of Middlesbrough’s only Grade One listed building.
Cambridge Medical Group patients have been issued with letters informing them their existing surgery building, on the same site as Carter Bequest Hospital, is “outdated and impractical” and “limits the services” it can provide for patients.
The letter, from practice manager Alan Jackson, adds the building “prevents us from working as effectively as we would like”.
Both Cambridge Medical Group, and Woodlands Surgery, including its branch surgery on Acklam Road, Middlesbrough, are proposing to transfer to new premises in the grounds surrounding Acklam Hall in Hall Drive.
The doctors need more space and are planning to move to enable patients to benefit from improved accessibility and enhanced services.
In his letter, Mr Jackson told patients they group believes the move will have a “positive effect” on their health care. “Our proposal is to build a new, purpose built modern practice on the site of Acklam Hall,” he said.
“This will increase and enhance facilities available to patients and staff, improve access for the disabled and allow us to develop and expand the practice into the future.”
He added the new building design would include provision for improved car parking and a secure cycle storage unit.
The practices would retain their separate identities serving their own patients.
The construction programme could begin before the end of 2010, with completion expected in early spring 2012.
During construction, the practices would continue to provide services from their current locations.
Consultation will run until Sunday, October 3. NHS Middlesbrough is inviting views from the public. The consultation period also gives people the opportunity to air any concerns they may have.

Why bother with a consultation. There is already new `Private Land` signs erected. Seems like the decision`s been made.

MBC / Bowen / Acklam Hall / Hogwash Acklam Hall is not owned by the “Council”
it’s owned by the people of Middlesbrough

Bowen
2:36 PM on September 26, 2010
The building was not owned by the council. As for what will happen to it and the surrounding land - that will be decided on by the planning committee - not "the council". The council consists of 5,000 employees and 49 cllrs. The decision will be made by the number of cllrs on the planning committee who turn up on the day of the meeting. Labour cllrs dominate the planning committee and the chair is Labour cllr John Mcpartand. The town is run by Labour - you voted for Labour cllrs in the main at the last local elections - why moan now?

Acklam Hall sold to local developer
Sep 24 2010 by Andy Passant, Evening Gazette

ONE of Teesside’s most historic buildings is being sold for an undisclosed sum.
Acklam Hall, Middlesbrough’s only Grade 1 listed building, is being sold on behalf of Middlesbrough College and Middlesbrough Council.
The 36.5-acre site, once home to cotton merchant Sir William Hustler, will be sold to a local developer, pending planning approval.

The identity of the developer has not been revealed.
But the purchaser intends to refurbish the hall, alongside an element of new mixed-use development for healthcare, business, residential and community purposes.
Middlesbrough College has already sold three former campuses. This is to help fund its new campus at Middlehaven, which opened in September 2008.
Property consultant Drivers Jonas Deloitte is handling the sale of Acklam Hall.
David Powell, assistant director at Drivers Jonas Deloitte in Leeds, said: “Both the college and council will be able to reinvest the receipt into providing core services at a time when central government funding is likely to be reduced in real terms.
“Should planning permission be granted to the developer, the hall will be saved for future generations and the site will become an integral and high-profile part of the Middlesbrough landscape, with a range of public-facing facilities benefiting many local residents.”
People across Teesside are currently being invited to give their views on the proposed relocation of two GP surgeries to the Acklam Hall site.
Cambridge Medical Group, on Cambridge Road, Linthorpe, and Woodlands Surgery, including its branch surgery on Acklam Road, are planning to transfer to new premises.
The plan is for a new, purpose-built modern practice.

It will be great if someone takes over Acklam Hall and renovates the buildings, as long as they fit in with the character of the place, and not like those hideous school buildings that were buiilt in the grounds in the 70s when it was Kings Manor.

Yet more green areas to be sold off by the council, no doubt a parade of shops with a doctors and lots and lots of houses to go along with all the other masses of houses being built in Middlesbrough to support our non existant booming economy.
"Should planning permission be granted" ????........ do you really think that a developer would buy such a massive site from the council without prior assurances that planning permission would be granted.

Allowing the developer to refurbish the Hall is one thing,to allow other residential development would take away a much loved green space enjoyed by many who live in the Acklam area.It would be criminal of the council to destroy this open space.

As an ex pupil there I find this rather sad.
The grounds, front and back, the woods and the avenue (of trees) should really be part of the grade 1 listing, most of them have been there longer than the hall.
But that's progress, just wish they hadn't mentioned Middlehaven but, I can just see the kind of googie inspired blocks of flats/offices they're probably going to throw up.

As an ex-pupil at Acklam Hall I was present at our 50th year reunion on 17th of September. I was saddened to see how run down the old place had become. I am heartened to read that it will be 'developed.' Hopefully in a tasteful way such that the essential character of the building will not be lost.

Sceptic
8:43 AM on September 25, 2010
Surgeries, Housing to either side of the hall and a large nursing home plus car parking for over 100 vehicles are planned for this beautiful site, this council will not be happy till they have ruined every aspect of our heritage.
I wonder how any pieces of silver they accepted for this wonderful site that attract more visitors daily than MIMA !!
Democracy, transparency - not in Middlesbrough.
The only positive is the hall building will be preserved

Aye, sceptic, but bet you a fiver it'll be preserved in the middle of a roundabout hidden behind lots of "modern" "architecture"

This lovely building is owned by the town and its people should be retained for the town and its people. I walk there regularly and it is a truly magical place. I suppose the long suffering residents of Acklam namely, Schools all over and attendant rubbish and traffic will suffer again, the powers that be fenced off the majority of sandy flatts last year !
I Dont suppose Mayor Mallon has a clue as to the place this bulding and its ancient grounds have in the hearts of many of this towns inhabitants.

Taxpayers face £86,000-a-year bill for empty building
8:00am Monday 3rd October 2011
By Lucy Richardson
AN empty grade I-listed building is costing a cash-strapped town £86,000 a year to secure until it is sold to a developer.
Acklam Hall, in Middlesbrough,which was built in 1628, is expected to be restored and used as a conference centre with a health village and housing in its grounds. However, as certain parts of the contract have had to be renegotiated and the developer has not yet met the necessary conservation and design standards required by English Heritage, a planning application has yet to be submitted. The only grade I-listed building in the town, owned by Middlesbrough Council and Middlesbrough College, Acklam Hall has been vacant for three years. Originally built by William Hustler as a family home, it has been in public ownership since 1935, occupied by Kings Manor School and then Middlesbrough College until students moved into a new campus in Middlehaven. Mike Hopkins, principal of Middlesbrough College, said: “Of course the college regrets any spend that is not directly improving the student experience here at Middlesbrough College. However, we do recognise that as custodians of the only grade I-listed building in Middlesbrough, we also have an obligation to ensure this fantastic heritage is secured and maintained for the benefit of future generations.” The co-owners of the Restoration mansion are jointly footing the bill for 24- hour security which was stepped up in January to manage risks to the site. Out of Middlesbrough’s 23 council wards, 16 are deprived and five are ranked among the top one per cent in the country for social deprivation. Middlesbrough Council is forced to slash £50m from its budget over four years resulting in the loss of services and hundreds of public sector jobs. It is believed the Heritage Lottery Fund is questioning the six-month winter closure of Captain Cook Birthplace Museum, in Stewart Park, after it granted the attraction more than £800,000 to ensure visitor numbers are sustained while the park underwent a major revamp. Councillor Charlie Rooney, Middlesbrough Council’s executive member for regeneration and economic development, said: “Acklam Hall is a hugely important part of Middlesbrough’s heritage and we have undertaken all necessary measures to protect its future.” Emma Boon, campaign director at the Taypayers’ Alliance said: “It’s right that this building should be protected from vandals so that its value isn’t degraded. But taxpayers’ money has been wasted by not dealing with this empty building more quickly".
