I am concerned that it seems nobody knew about this. I am hoping that Katex will tell us that she had seen the demolition mentioned in a notice such as those published when planning permission is granted - or has the council kept this

It has been there for all to see Bob ... have posted in my Planning Applications thread before, and this was the last meeting it was discussed ... again for all to see.

I worked for the company that owned this building, and sorry Atarah, do love our heritage, but it was a mess and would have fallen down if not pulled down. No developer would wish to convert it into other uses, as I consider it a very ugly building.
If you wish to find out more about the history, sure Peter Hargreaves (seek him out in Oswaldtwistle Mills) will only be too happy to help you.
