Welcome to the Stanley Family New Fan.
There were a few of the Futuro houses made by Waterside Plastics. I believe one or two are still in existance. I cant remember the one opposite Temperley pipes though and I used to use the road over to Bacup a lot. Probably old age creeping up on me.
I worked for a local engineering company and we did a few jobs repairing machinery at all the three Temperley pipe works on Bacup road.
I remember the plastic house being moved from the Waterside factory to The front of Abraham Ormerod medical centre on Burnley road. It was about 1970.
