Hello, I am currently trying to do some research for a friend as to the origins/history of what I have been told was on old factory near the location of the old viaduct in Baxenden, on the Accy to Baxenden stretch of railway line. Grateful if anyone can give any further info regarding what this factory might have been, when it was removed/demolished

Cheers fella, actually climbed up the remaining stump on sunday morn, memories came flooding back of my youth walking down the clough, be able to sleep 2night knowing what the remains were
