St Johns House in Bootle – demolished in 2001 – was named ‘Britain’s sickest building’ due to approximately half of the 2,000 Inland Revenue employees who worked there falling ill over the years, the most common ailment of which included ‘influenza type symptoms’

We have recently been contacted by a number of ex-employee residents of the building who are now suffering with a variety of illnesses, including asbestosis.

If you, or someone you know, worked in this building prior to it being demolished please contact Hampson Hughes Solicitors on 0800 888 6888 or email today.
