Free heating for your street!

Is someone going to tidy that front lawn up? That chair, traffic cone and rubbish have been laying there all day ;)

You could have chucked your rubbish into the bonfire at least...:D

lol thats the neighbours garden not mine :razz:

Chuck your nieghbours in the bonfire then :lol1:

Is that Oldham? If it is I saw it from the motorway, it looked BIG!!! :eek:

Is that Hyde? I saw the smoke from over that way and pointed it out to the missus.

If it started earlier it could have been on Google Street View :p

Its Just off Ashton Road in Oldham classed as Hathershaw its Maple Mill

What goes around comes around.....

Vance Miller - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

you know my first though when I heard this was Arson! Dont know why :Suspiciou

Scatter............:D

Insurance job anyone? That Vance Miller is a cock, he over took me in his SL55 while in a moving traffic que in a 20 zone a few weeks ago

Guy even has his own Wiki: Vance Miller - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia :lol1:

Know that area well, saw this last night, looked like it was still going this am?

yes its still going now - had some more big flames around 4 o clock and we still blocked in

blimey looks messy, the fire not the garden lol, before dci thinks im siding with him :p

Worst fire I have ever witnessed was Bollums Paints in Elmers End, feck me lol

I work in Ashton-Under-Lyne, this has been pretty much all we've talked about today :thumb:

I heard the sirens on my way out of work last night but didn't pay much attention, until I got onto the M60 and saw the huge pall of smoke in the rear view mirror :eek:

One hell of a big mill too go up in smoke .
Was there only a couple of weeks ago getting a couple of kitchen worktops for someone .

Mr Miller is apparently a bit of a rogue .

He has already said he is not insured !!!! Due to his reputation no doubt uninsurable !!!!

Oh Dear,oh dear .

He's a wide boy alright, but the local council have been playing dirty a lot longer than him in an attempt to get their hands on that mill. They've a 700 page plan to convert it to residential apartments, once they secure it back...... oh look it's on fire ;)

:( I know a girl who lives opposite this.

She was evacuated from her house & wont be allowed back in it for at least a week. Shes due to give birth anyday as well.

The cynic in me tends to agree.

I personally I find it a shame that a 100+ year old building has such a demise. I love old architecture, whilst much of it has period asthetic detail, its design serves a purpose. Modern stuff, which can have as much detail and design, often seems to be designed as meerly as a token gesture for the sakes of trying to be fashionable.

However in retrospect, is its destruction in a "accidental" fire a godsave from it being butchered by converting it into "yet another" bygone ex-industrial-chic block of apartments?

Seeing the idea of converting old industrial buildings into residential apartments doesn't sit right with me, as it has nothing to do with the building's original purpose; I'd rather see it demolished.

I drove past this, it was the biggest fire i have seen it was simply huge!!!! :eek:


Vance is alright - salt of the earth that man :thumb:

Oh and he's not insured
