Palladium, Ossy - work going on
 

Just driven past and there seem to be workmen inside removing all the old chairs and fittings.

Anyone know what's going on?

Re: Palladium, Ossy - work going on
 

hynburn council will set the bailiffs on anyone :rolleyes:

Re: Palladium, Ossy - work going on
 

Some of those old chairs and fittings could be worth a few bob (once they are cleared of pigeon muck)....I hope they are not going in a skip.There could be some good Art Deco stuff there. Get it out if it is ..and check if there are any old picture posters...an original "Gone With The Wind" is worth £25K now....have a good root round, Gayle - you never know what you could find.

Re: Palladium, Ossy - work going on
 

I never saw any art deco fixtures when I played bingo there.
I do know it when I see it - the Mecca bingo club at Southport is a beautiful example (an ex Odeon cinema)
The Palladium was never that posh even when in its prime.

Re: Palladium, Ossy - work going on
 

You never know what may have been hidden behind the chipboard....

Re: Palladium, Ossy - work going on
 

Probably the ones from across the road weighing in the metal chairs :rolleyes:

Re: Palladium, Ossy - work going on
 

they have been emptying it for a good few days now. they have had kids helping load up the pick ups like a conveyor belt,lol.

Re: Palladium, Ossy - work going on
 

Is it re-opening?

Re: Palladium, Ossy - work going on
 

thought it was coming down wadey:confused: could be wrong?

Re: Palladium, Ossy - work going on
 

It looks a mess but what is behind it that we will be able to see if it does come down?

Re: Palladium, Ossy - work going on
 

a caravan site

Re: Palladium, Ossy - work going on
 

That will look nice as you drive up the road.

Re: Palladium, Ossy - work going on
 

well in fairness,that looks better than whats yon now.

Re: Palladium, Ossy - work going on
 

I once had to visit a caravan on that site many years ago(for work reasons).
The site was kept very clean and tidy and the caravan was quite spectacular inside - cut and engraved glass and Crown Derby pottery.
Those caravan dwellers aren't 'travellers'

Re: Palladium, Ossy - work going on
 

a friend of mine looked into buying the place a few years back but there was too much work needed to get it up to spec

usally when they are going to do somting with a building they stick posters on lamp posts near by to notify teh public as well as announce plans applied for in the local paper

i can only guess that if not demolition then probably flats or as they liek to call flats in accrington ( luxury appartments ) roflmfao

Re: Palladium, Ossy - work going on
 

The last we heard Accyman was that the owner had gone into bankcruptsy ... so not sure what is going on.

If it were being demolished, would have thought there would have been some sort of application .. maybe through LCC for dangerous building ..haven't seen anything as yet .. unless Claytonender has .. ?

Re: Palladium, Ossy - work going on
 

Rumour has it that it has been acquired by a local gypsy ... and I do emphasise 'rumour' at this stage.

Re: Palladium, Ossy - work going on
 

Maybe, just maybe, West's Carpets intend to expand?

Re: Palladium, Ossy - work going on
 

Remember watchin "the time machine" there in the old days,....see if you can find that big freakin torch that italian guy used to whack people on head with when they were too noisy..... wouldnt mind bumpin in to him now the swine...lol !!!!

Re: Palladium, Ossy - work going on
 

I think that you are confusing the Palladium with the Palace -
'that Italian guy' was Mr Saporiti who owned the Palace at the bottom of Rhyddings St.
He patrolled his cinema and was at the door to thank the customers for attending his Palace.

Re: Palladium, Ossy - work going on
 

NOPE IM PRETTY SURE IT WAS PALLADIUM, CAUSE I CANT REMEMBER PALACE AT ALL ??..... ANYWAY ILL CHECK WITH MY BRO TOMORROW CAUSE HE GOT A GOOD WHACKIN AS WELL!!!:mad::mad::(:(:eek::eek::whip:

Re: Palladium, Ossy - work going on
 

I just remember it being a bingo hall, not the greatest place

Re: Palladium, Ossy - work going on
 

The owner of the Palladium was Winston Whittaker, and his son ran it after him for a while, he owned it right from me remembering back when I was about 5 or 6, never remember an Italian owning it

Re: Palladium, Ossy - work going on
 

See there are some new 'For Sale' signs on it again... so won't be any plans for developing this building for a while I suppose.

Re: Palladium, Ossy - work going on
 

I noticed them a couple of days ago - kept meaning to post on here but forgot - thanks Kate

Re: Palladium, Ossy - work going on
 

there are notices stuck to the building. maybe they are emptying it to accomodate
britcliffes growing ego

Re: Palladium, Ossy - work going on
 

Nah mate they would have empty Accrington fer that.:D

Re: Palladium, Ossy - work going on
 

Hello, did he leave you out of a round in the Rose and Crown again:D

Re: Palladium, Ossy - work going on
 

Saw some people reading that this morning Ian .. wonder what it says ?
Did mean to stop and look on my return this afternoon .. but was too cold to park car and make the effort. :o

Palladium, Ossy - work going on
 

Was in Oswaldtwistle this morning. Was rather surprised to read this "notice of intent" - first of all it's not dated, and secondly, why is it not on official Council letterheading? I find it rather odd.

Re: Palladium, Ossy - work going on
 

That has never been issued by HBC it would most definately have been on Council Head Paper Atarah

Re: Palladium, Ossy - work going on
 

There has, as they say, a recent application for demolition by Everlux Electronics (the owners) in about 28 days ? Saw it the other day .. but Hyndburn's site down at the moment.. can't copy.

Think they may have been taking out the last of the interior fittings or something. Was a large skip there during the week.

Re: Palladium, Ossy - work going on
 

It's back up again .. there you go :

11/10/0285 28 day prior notification: Demolition of Palladium Bingo building
Union Road,
Oswaldtwistle
Accrington BB5
0EB
Everlux Elec Ltd

29/6/10.

Re: Palladium, Ossy - work going on
 

Do you think that sign is from HBC Kate or just reproduced by the company

Re: Palladium, Ossy - work going on
 

The 'Demolition' and 'For Sale' signs are still in place, but the 'Palladium' wording and all the surrounding concrete has been removed, leaving the brickwork, also, the roof has been repaired, which seems strange if it's going to be demolished.

Re: Palladium, Ossy - work going on
 

"The Last Picture Show"

Re: Palladium, Ossy - work going on
 

I thought they were taking the slates off, Ossylass ?

Re: Palladium, Ossy - work going on
 

Previously, there was a gaping hole in the roof with pigeons flying in and out, but now it looks fine!

Re: Palladium, Ossy - work going on
 

Ok ... they were definintely taking slates off though this week. It was on the two lower bits, not the main roof, if you understand.

Maybe they don't wish to be accused of killing off any wild life when they start the major demolition ... :D

Re: Palladium, Ossy - work going on
 

Not going to be demolished now

Re: Palladium, Ossy - work going on
 

That means there's still a chance I might top the bill there, one of these Sundays.

:rolleyes:

Re: Palladium, Ossy - work going on
 

Nay the only time you will appear on stage is if your sweeping up.:hehetable:hehetable


Retlaw.

Re: Palladium, Ossy - work going on
 

How very rude.

I take it you've never seen me call Bingo numbers in Urdu?

:D

Re: Palladium, Ossy - work going on
 

Eeew hek Dave .. thanks for that !!

I say pull the blooming ugly thing down. Looks like they have had an offer and nowt really to do with Historic Value.

Re: Palladium, Ossy - work going on
 

Hey, I do a great Burlington Bertie.

Re: Palladium, Ossy - work going on
 

Is he the stilt walker, from the Proms in the Park thingamajig?

The same Burlinton Betie that rises at ten thirty, presumably twice in every twenty four hours?

You certainly raised his balloon that day.

:D

Re: Palladium, Ossy - work going on
 

A-hem .. we had better clarify the above remark... :D

That's funny...I didn't remember you using your hands.

Multi-skilled Garinda .... ;)

Eeew hek, thread wandering again.

Re: Palladium, Ossy - work going on
 

I could be your stooge, in a double act, and we could both top the bill at the Palladium, he posted.

Neatly bringing us back on thread.

Re: Palladium, Ossy - work going on
 

She knows you know, but which is which:D

Re: Palladium, Ossy - work going on
 

The two suggested uses in that news article are a climbing wall and a muslim wedding venue.

I recall that there was a restaurant in Blackburn that specialised in muslim weddings, and it didn't last long. Also there would be a parking problem for the hoards who attend such events, unless they come to an arrangement with Ossy Mills.

A climbing wall - can't see much call for that around here when real rock climbing is within reasonable travelling distance. Such a wall wouldn't fill that cavernous interior, so seems a 'waste of space' is the right phrase to use there.

If the building was yours, what commercial venture would suit?

Re: Palladium, Ossy - work going on
 

Don't Muslims get married in Mosques?

Re: Palladium, Ossy - work going on
 

....they don't have their wedding feasts in mosques

Re: Palladium, Ossy - work going on
 

The Hat Factory at Strangeways has become a Rock Climbing centre

Re: Palladium, Ossy - work going on
 

They are further away from real rocks, and Yuppies like doing active pursuits in their lunch hour.
Does Accy have enough Yuppies?:D

Re: Palladium, Ossy - work going on
 

No and they have a wall at Blackburn

Re: Palladium, Ossy - work going on
 

Still think it's ugly, and of little architectural merit.

I wouldn't shed any tears if it was demolished.

Cllr. Moss has spotted lots.

Accy Town Hall was a popular place went to a few there when JKH was MP

Re: Palladium, Ossy - work going on
 

Just made a coffee, for a very nice person who bakes for me.

She was telling me how the person to whom you refer, entertained a room full of ladies last night.

Who'd have thought it?

Apparently he had the ladies of St. Mary's in stitches.

:rolleyes:

Re: Palladium, Ossy - work going on
 

I can quite believe that because, every time he pops in to see me, its a laugh a minute, when he tells me of his latest escapades:D

Re: Palladium, Ossy - work going on
 

It's the right size for a Market Hall, and already has a balcony for use as a refreshment area. ;) (Since the 'death knell' is tolling for the Accrington one)

Re: Palladium, Ossy - work going on
 

Ossy ain't classed as a Market town Margaret;)

Re: Palladium, Ossy - work going on
 

So? - If disused mills can have a variety of small retail outlets, why not a disused cinema

Re: Palladium, Ossy - work going on
 

Can't use the word Market though Margaret

Re: Palladium, Ossy - work going on
 

How about Meerkat:D

Re: Palladium, Ossy - work going on
 

Seems about right:D:D:D looks like my spell check is wondering:rolleyes:

Re: Palladium, Ossy - work going on
 

Since Market Street in Church is literally yards away, just move the boundary sign.

;)

Re: Palladium, Ossy - work going on
 

Very simplistic G:rolleyes:

Re: Palladium, Ossy - work going on
 

Why go twice round the market place, when you can go straight in...to the tripe?

;)

Re: Palladium, Ossy - work going on
 

The palladium is being knocked down and the area landscape it has been bought by hyndburn council.

Re: Palladium, Ossy - work going on
 

A few weeks ago we heard that the building was no longer to be demolished
Historic Oswaldtwistle cinema saved (From Lancashire Telegraph)
Is your 'news' from before that time?

Re: Palladium, Ossy - work going on
 

Britcliffe is going to turn it into Oswaldtwistle Market Hall.

Re: Palladium, Ossy - work going on
 

How many days will it be open? :rolleyes:

Re: Palladium, Ossy - work going on
 

Do you mean per week or in total before the doors are permanently shut again?

Re: Palladium, Ossy - work going on
 

Rio, Gateshead, the Palladium in Ossy.

Perhaps it'll be the site of some massive, monolithic statue, commemorating some great leader.

Angel Delight of the North.

Re: Palladium, Ossy - work going on
 

As far as I know its still going ahead...

Re: Palladium, Ossy - work going on
 

there was a for sale sign up on it last week

Re: Palladium, Ossy - work going on
 

Whats happening now to the palladium?.

Re: Palladium, Ossy - work going on
 

The same thats been happening for ages, nothing;)

Re: Palladium, Ossy - work going on
 

Wish they would do something useful with it

Re: Palladium, Ossy - work going on
 

There's still a for sale sign up now, I went past today and this is how it looked - and indeed for that past few years...
