Its not all bad news - the Karrimor building is def. being SAVED!!! The scaffolding has already started to go up. The derelict mill, once "Walmsleys Leather Works", then "Mastabar Beltfasteners" then "Karrimor's", (who moved out in 1980), has been bought in a joint venture, and the four storey, Accrington brick faced building is to be transformed into offices and shops. Work has already begun on the adjoining building, which fronts Water Street. Photograph kindly taken by Owd Bert
