Sadly they don't.

The Masonic Hall in Ossy's just been put up for sale.

Can't see there being much of a market for it.

I suppose that makes economic sense.

It isn't used very often, and must have high running costs.

I'm not entirely sure that it is true that they are expensive to heat and maintain......they are solidly built, with character thrown in.
There is much that can be done to insulate these buildings...and Ok, it might be expensive at the outset but then you reap the rewards over the years.
I hate the 'knock it down and build modern' mentality.

The only real drawback to this one, is that it is on a busy main road.

I used to pass the place every day in the sixties, on my way to work at David Whitheads in Rawtenstall.

I think Ossy masonic are moving some of their meetings to the Adelaide accrington
