Annoying to see the one tiled wall left of the engine house! I've been tied up with weddings for the past fortnight!!

This is Oldham Council you're talking about, you'd be more likely to get Hitler to save a black, gay Jew with Polish blood rather than get the Oldham Council planners to even think about saving some of the town heritage

I agree, they are a bunch of ! I saw what happened with the Chadderton Baths.

The mill is now virtually down with secca and big lights present 24 hours a day.

Big shame no one got too see it as it was in very good condition. . . . .

Damn sad. Remember this place well with me and @Reich first time we ever got caught inside lol. Was funny shit. Did get pics but not sure where they are now. If found might do a small report.

Hello all. I am the archaeologist currently exposing the foundations of the chimney, engine &boiler houses of Durban Mill. Does anyone have any photographs of the inside of the engine house they could show me?
Cheers

Why are you doing that out of interest...? I believe the only shots of the inside are in this thread. I'd be interested to see what you've found. IMO it was a crime that engine house was demolished but that's Oldham for ya!
