I read with interest that later this month this fantastic, stone, massive, grade-two listed building, is to go under the hammer at auction this month and is expected to bring...... WAIT FOR IT ...."BETWEEN SIXTY AND NINETY THOUSAND POUNDS) That must be the buy of the century thats only the cost of a moderate terraced house, and look at the possibilities of a building such as this. I TOTALLY DESPAIR. This is being sold by LCC not HBC or I could have understood it a little better. Lets face it a few quid each from all accynet would buy it, come on hyndburn wake up.
 
Suppose we bought it, what would we do with it?

Which leads me to wonder what anyone will do with it. Wouldn't have problems with garage space that's for sure. What other features does it have to offer?
 
I'm sure someone with some imagination could find a very good and profitable use for it. Lets face it the dressed stone in that place is worthh the asking price and the plot it stands on well, I couldn't even guess. I bet now after reading the Observer article some members of the public in Hyndburn are already putting together plans to turn it into something the rest do not want. If you get my thread.....................
 
I dread to think but bearing in mind the panopticon I could imagine anything! I'd reckon it was £60,000 well spent if I had it to spare.
 
I can see it now with a large green and gold dome on the top of the hose covered in stars and moons. It would be visible for mies. Why ruin the coppice.
 
We could rescue ladies from the tower or use it for bungee jumping see the possibities are opening up as we speak..
 
i like the idea of the male pole dancers, as long as it was a FIREMAN THEME ?
 
I like the idea of a bungee station from the tower. We could install a climbing wall and have a zorbing zone using the hose pipes to provide the momentum behind the zorb, (seeing as we are a bit short of mountains around here). Just think, we could become the adventure capital of the UK. I wonder if PB could include this idea in his promotion of Hyndburn as a tourist spot.:D
 
aaaaawwwwwwwww you always get one that puts the dampers on it. he he
 
Put bars on the windows and use it for rounding up and incarcerating some of the local yobs,plenty of room for snooker,Tv lounge etc.
 
THE OUTSIDE COULD BE LEFT JUST AS IT IS BUT WE COULD GO WILD ON THE INSIDE WE HAVE LOADS OF GOOD SUGGESTIONS ALREADY EVEN THOUGH SONE OF THEM COST ME SOME KARMA PIONTS. SORRY ABOUT THE CAPS LOCK ENT,NOT SHOUTING, but had a drink........................
