Ooh err

[DFOR]

Ooh err - I spotted surveyors on the the spare land on Thwaites road on Friday morning, oh I hope they don't build more houses . Has anyone any ideas what could be in store ?

 

[cashman]

Why do yeh hope they don't build,if yeh live in Darwen?

 

[DFOR]

Yes, but my parents live in Ossy and I spend most of my spare time in Ossy.

Would you rather they put up tents for people to live in?

 

[Shurm]

I think the land is too marshy if you mean at the back of the houses on Stanhill Lane ?

 

[DFOR]

I'd rather the wildlife be left to live there.

The 'wildlife' live on Wordsworth Rd nearby - perhaps there is a need to expand the ghetto.

Thats very unkind Margaret, I know somebody who lives on there is a fine upstanding gent

Can't just see any Planning Applications which could relate to this land, DFO.

Last one was way back in 1974 where HBC applied for Landscape Area Reclamation for this Public Open Space. Well, if I am focusing on the correct piece of land. Does indicate, as Shurm said, quite a few drainage problems.

Will keep a beady eye open.

I think he must mean the land on the corner of thwaites road opposite the school, and next to the nursing home im sure it had planning permission a number of years ago but could have elapsed by now.

[cashman]

If thats were the "Swanee" used to be, should never have built out on yon in first place imho.

 

[Rob249]

what was the swanee cashy

 

[cashman]

what was the swanee cashy

It was a piece of land saturated, were we used to go "Newting" at dinner from the Tech.

 

[Rob249]

Thats probably the same piece of land on the corner of thwaites road, overgrown with a undulating slope to the bottom where the brook is.

Some of the owd gets like me on here will know fer sure Rob.

 

[katex]

The one I was looking at described it as a derelict mill site.

There was one on this portion of land for 90 dwellings ages ago, which got passed, but then the Nursing Home superseded it.
