Fire Station Sale

The Observer reports that the Fire Station in Manchester Road was sold to an unnamed buyer this week for £385,000. The top estimate before the sale was £90,000. Lancs CC must be rubbing their grubby little hands with glee.

Re: Fire Station Sale

It is listed Grade II, so they can do what they like with the inside, subject to planning consent, but they cannot alter the outside.
