Was spending the weekend in lovely Haworth and saw from digs window -it was very scary. Not knowing the area I was interested to hear comments about the mill owners. Very strange! The firemen deserve a pat on the back. Saw them this morning when leaving to come home - they looked exhausted. Good filming. What a shame you have lost a lovely building.

@samsonsmummy Apparently its to be demolished this week, can anyone confirm?

I saw the firemen this morning looking justifiably tired out, they were enjoying a short spell on the grass whilst the sun was shining for a few minutes.

Airdale Springs get a nice new industreal unit and Skipton propertys get the land this mill was on .

all very convenient dont you think .

I'm totally shocked that a building involved with skipton properties has mysteriously burnt to the ground. What are the odds that 30 plus three storey houses are on that plot within 9 months?

@stealthpiccasso Yes it's demolished now :(

[Catatata94]

@awstrali No one was in the building, thank goodness.

@th3soundguy

And what does he say about Cowling,and the three storey houses?

We only changed the height of a few, and (don't laugh here any builders who read this) it was because the ground was bad!"

Because of the increased costs of building extra houses at Cowling, Skipton Properties declined to build any affordable houses, houses which they had agreed to build in the planning application, and instead gave £15,000 for a skateboard park.

@th3soundguy

On planning he has this to say:

"The law does not stop you from building without planning permission, you merely do it at your own risk. Perhaps it's the law which is wrong, the system needs to be more accommodating."

"The system doesn't allow for change, so you try and short circuit the system."
