Hi Tealeaf,

I agree with much of what you have said. However I did not really consider entering anything in Accrington into any sort of national competition for the simple reason that as you have said there is very little of National architectural or cultural importance in Accrington that is need of rescue that hasn't already lost the negotiation with the demolition crew. I was thinking more along the lines of something that is of local importance that we could campaign for locally. From what you have said and from what I have seen the canal warehouse and the 'Church Commercial' are prime candidates. I remember you saying something in another thread about the council not wanting to do anything about them because the owner is not known. I thought that was what Compulsory Purchase Orders were for. What use could the two be put to though?
