Dose anybody know how long it's going to be blocked off. I was pretty peed off yesterday when I was going to work at 5.00 and couldn't get through.
No way round except though all the mud at fox hill. It was dark muddy n horrible. just glad I had decided to put my boots on. I don't usually wear them for work.
I was not an happy bunny when I got to work.
Luckily I got a lift home at 10.00

Next time you pass Mick, you will find that the apex on the left of your picture is now level, the prearlings are propped up with a few pieces of wood, otherwise is now completely open to the elements, If the council would allow development (they won't at the minute because it is considered too close to Blythe for residential buildings), this would not have got so bad, the building has gone down the same crying shame road as the old con club.
How bluddy typical of HBC. This is a building that has managed to stand for almost 150 years without any major bits dropping off. Then HBC helpfully step in and "repair" the roof. The inevitable consequence is that during the first really good bit of bad weather since the repair was done the whole bluddy roof blows off!
Moral: Only a fool would trust anyone from HBC to sit on a lavatory the right way round - much less manage the conservation and repair of our heritage assets.

What fantastic buildings, all three in that picture. They just need lots of tlc. Fantastic architecture on the mill, that huge arch!.
Knock them down and in a few years you'll all be regretting that you destroyed your heritage.
Panther Tourists want to see these old buildings, they want to see, character, heritage, history, not new modern red brick, characterless boxes. Strange that you say tourists on the way to ossy mills, is that not an old mill building?
It's not pretty at the moment but it could be with restoration, and could even be a tourist attraction in it's own right.

i agree Madhatter but they are a bloody eyesore, like a few things round there!
I mean how long have they been empty??.......years and years, the building that the roof came off as been always empty as long as i know, commercial pub was a good pub, god knows why the shut it
......but IF they did do them up they WOULD look nice, but they are now getting in a state, that its cheaper to demolish and build again

Been another episode today, a wagon from walker steel shut the road down all morning because the divvy lost his load, he knew it had moved when he came off bridge street, but instead of just reversing and going back, he decided to turn around at the junction, and the load slid off, demolishing the curtain sides and framework, and leaving steel all over the road.
should think would be a very difficult manouvere reversing back up bridge street,if were talking an artic?
Not back into bridge street, he actually got out onto the road, realised the load shifted, another driver got out of his wagon to guide him backwards so he could drive back into bridge street, the guy took no notice and swung the wagon round at the junction, in the same direction as the load had shifted, soon as he straightened up, it slid off, taking the curtain and framework with it.
That idea has been kicked into touch because of the proximity to the chemical works,regardless of the fact that there is already residential property in the area.
I agree that the buildings should be preserved, but it just goes from bad to worse there. The contrasting architecture of those three buildings make the approach to Accrington more interesting if only the buildings were in a good state of repair. The red brick one is fine - it's occupied and serving a purpose. The other two are a total disgrace.
