Re: What Are They?
I was just thinking of the ones in Ormerod Street in the wall that used to be part of Platts/Bulloughs.

:D I go past there nearly every day and I never really look but I'm sure that what's left of them sort of disappears into the ground. I'm going down tomorrow so I'll try to remember to have a look.

Re: What Are They?
Your right Willow I can remember seeing the workers in the basement like thing when it was Howard and Bulloughs
|
Re: What Are They?
I suppose it's because the ground rises up and the front of the factory was at ground level but halfway up Ormerod Street it became basement.

Re: What Are They?
the thing that puts me off the "windows" a bit- the last arch is not very high maybe 18"- 24" n dont leave much room or point of a window.:confused:

Does it have a cellar? could have been windows for that.
I haven't seen them but I'll have a look if I pass it, are they definately knocking the building down? sure they guy who owns G&A plastics once told me there was a preservation order on the building or the chimney there |

Certainly doesn't look to be preserved today when I went past it !:eek:
They look like cellar windows to me; maybe the height of the road down onto Hyndburn Rd has changed in the intervening years ? |
