Recently, the ‘Old Laundry’ ruin has become potentially dangerous.  This means that it is threatened with demolition.  So we need to ask whether you would like to preserve it or let it be pulled down.

The Old Laundry

The building dates back to the early 1800’s and when the foundations for the surrounding housing developments were dug, there were a number of archaeological finds.

If the ruin is stabilised, it could be a focus for an interpretation of the history of this area.

It could also be used as a meeting place or a store for any woodland activities.

Funding to make the building safe can be found.

However, if it’s demolished?    -   Well, when it’s gone, it’s gone!

Please let us know what you think

We have set up a little poll to find out whether you want the building saved or not.  It’s in the sidebar of this site (down the right hand side).  All you have to do is click “Yes” or “No” and then “Vote”.  If you want to say a bit more, you are welcome to add a comment to the bottom of this post.
