MILL FIRE, MAPLE MILL, OLDHAM, 21 APRIL 2009 ~ PART 1

I'm sure I have just seen this building on the news whilst it was still in tact. It was about a guy who made kitchens in it and the council took him to court and lost so the tax payer has to pay £4m court costs. Was it this building or is there more than 1 building with MAPLE on it?

Dave ~ it could well have been as he certainly owned that mill and refuses to clear the site, hence the reason the remians still stand. However, that said, there were 2 Maple Mills next to each other. The fire was at No.2 Mill so they could have shown No1 Mill.
