HORWICH LOCO WORKS
The latest news is that the Loco Works site is not
going to be listed. English Heritage said that the buildings are
of historic interest but do not meet the standard for them to be
listed. As a result of Bolton's Core strategy Plan being sent to
the Government, the Planning Inspectorate will undertake an independent
examination. This will include a public hearing and the session
on the Loco Works will take place on September 16th at Bolton Town
Hall.
