Description

Rochdales Chernobyl - the abandoned Turner Brothers factory in Spod Road, once the worlds largest asbestos maker, is set to be redeveloped after decades of neglect. The site, now an eyesore and health hazard, has seen numerous failed redevelopment attempts. Locals and former workers have mixed feelings about the proposed housing and green space plans, as long as the asbestos remains safely contained. The site, now open for tours, has seen increased trespassing and security breaches. Spodden Park Limited, the new owners, assure slow progress is a sign of thorough remediation efforts. A public consultation is upcoming, giving locals a say in the sites future. Checkout Solipillow.com
