Land for sale in Hollins Road, Walsden, Todmorden OL14

Woodbootom Mill, offers exciting re-development potential and is located on the canal side at Walsden, with wonderful valley views. Plans were passed in 2008 and renewed in 2011 but have now lapsed. Lapsed planning was for re-development of the site (approx 1582 square meters) to construct 11 new 2 bedroom units with parking. Any development here would have a wide appeal, due to the scenic setting and convenience for both Walsden village and Todmorden town centre. Please contact the office to arrange a site inspection.

History

Woodbottom Mill was built in the grounds of Woodbottom Farm circa 1860. The weaving shed was later sold off and expanded from the 1880's. Crossley & Sons moved their shuttle manufacturing business to the mill in 1928 and were there until 2006, when the business stopped trading. The mill has declined over recent years, as industry has changed and Todmorden has become more of a favoured residential town as opposed to a worrking mill town. The site is ripe for redevelopment.
