Hill Country Club, Formby
ON Thursday, 25 August 2016, a fire
that started at Shorrocks Hill's Stables lead to the discovery of a body of a
male, who was found inside the stables.
The cause of the man’s death and the fire that completely destroyed the stable
building and a caravan is not yet known.
