Information - Pagefield Mill Wigan

[admin]

Just a heads up, this once again popular dump now has a Closure Order served on it, which makes it criminal trespass. Read all about derp...

Trespassers face fine or prison if they enter 'severely dangerous' derelict mill

There have been repeated reports of anti-social and criminal behaviour at Pagefield Mill in recent weeks

Is it worth moving my report NP since its dated as July?

I doubt they would pursue previous visits, besides the place is a fetid hole anyway these day's! More an accident waiting to happen and a best case of damage limitation more than anything

I'm right in saying it came in force today?

 

[admin]

Effective from this week (22nd July) and valid until 8th October 2020, whereby I suspect it will be reviewed once more

Im surprised they haven't gone for the maximum 3 months.
Apparently they have removed the iron work from the chimney.

I was looking at the chimney mainly to make it worth the drive really. Shame but got a few other places in mind so wont be a wasted day

there isn't much in wigan in all honesty, surprised you can make a day out of it

 

[Scoobysrt]

The iron work on the chimney was apparently really dodgy and has already been off anyway

 

[PlanetClare]

Anyone know if this is still in affect?

A quick Google shows the below from Wigan Today:

'A closure order which makes it a criminal offence to trespass at Pagefield Mill initially ran until this Thursday, but has been extended for three months'

They are also carrying out council ordered demolition works currently - on what parts of the site I do not know.
