Salford Magistrates Court. Sold to a private developer for a nominal sum (there is a dispute as to whether it was £200, or £5,000). Its Chinese owners turned it in to rental flats, which perhaps needless to say are marketed as "apartments". Most are tiny bedsits. Some have bedrooms. They number c.140 in total, and the cheapest monthly rent is £900. There is a lengthy waiting list.

Local justice.
