rhyddings street factory bottoms fire

i managed to grab a quick pic before the emergency services turned up( i did ring them before taking the pic of course ) .My guess is the whole lot has gone up in smoke.Woulda grabbed more but the smoke was realy thick and there were flying red hot embers everywhere

its a good job tesco wernt allowed to build the petrol station they applied for when building the tesco express because it could have easily gone up with all the embers that were falling quite a distance away never mind the tescos area its self

hope everyone at the bottom of rhyddings street hasnt suffered any damage to their property or health.

Re: rhyddings street factory bottoms fire

forgot to mention that union road is blocked off from the war memorial/rhyddings street to the tampets/harvey street so anyone planning on heading along there may want to plan a different route.As of 4.15am they are still trying to control the fire but theres no way of telling if they will reopen that part of union road in time for the morning rush

BBC News - Explosions heard during Oswaldtwistle mill fire

Firefighters were forced to pull out of a fire at a former mill in Lancashire following a series of explosions.

Maybe if Tesco had not been allowed to build their store in the first place and a fire station would still be there, then the fire would not have taken the hold that it did.

Re: rhyddings street factory bottoms fire

I agree that it's a shame that the Fire Station closed but I don't think you can blame Tesco for that - they bought a derelict site, the Fire Station was long gone by the time they moved in.

It says on the BBC site that it might be demolished now. That's possibly a good thing as it was a bit of an eyesore.

I hope everyone who lives around there is ok and no damage done to other properties.

A very good way to get rid of a listed building thats no longer wanted. Watch that space for some small private houses.

The guy who owns the place has been trying to get rid for ages and certainly had no intentions of pending brass on the building
