seem to remember hearing/reading a while ago that all the area west of the old Whitebirk power station and south of the old Gt. Harwood railway line , west as far a Whilpshire rd (New Inns) and Blackburn Rd as the southern boundary had been included in a study for possible change of use and future industrial expansion
