Anybody up to it??
 
Google Earth, search for 'SPRINGPOOL, WIGAN', then Winstanley Hall is slightly NW of this road, across a field. Easy to see courtyard area from GE.
 
I wonder what the 'planning disputes' are?

The original windows look very nice but I bet they're mostly trashed now and whoever (if anyone) ends up developing it will replace them with lovely white UPVC ones. :rolleyes:
 
I recall the planning stemming around the affordability issue. I.e. they could turn that place into a small number of very expensive apartments and add some big posh dwellings to the extensive site.

But Wigan Councils UDP for the area is affordability rather than exclusivity!
 
im lucky enough to know the farmer in question, when i next see him im going to ask him for a tour.
 
Yep, I've got into this place, a few weeks back, and had a good explore with someone from the 28DL forum, want me to post some pics?
