Langham Tower

Langham Tower is a large Victorian mansion, located on the corner of Ryhope Road and Mowbray Road in the Ashbrooke suburb of Sunderland. The mansion was built 1889-1891 by William Milburn for William Adamson, the son of the shipbuilder W. Adamson. The house was later owned by the Vaux brewery family, then by shipbuilder Robert Thompson, before becoming a teacher training college in 1922. It became part of Sunderland Polytechnic, later Sunderland University, in 1975. The University sold Langham Tower in 2004. It became part of Sunderland High School in 2006, but the independent School closed in 2016. Langham Tower is a Grade II listed building.
I was taught in here when I was doing teacher training. It was part of Sunderland University at the time.
The interior is fabulous with stained glass, a beautiful staircase, very ornate fireplaces and plaster ceilings.
Anyone want you buy it. It's for sale, price on application.
