Stop demolition of Penwortham Mill, Preston Lancashire

Rejected 18 signatures

What the petition asks

The mill built in 1785, has a fascinating history. It was later purchased and is now privately owned. The owners let it fall into dereliction so they can demolish it and make a profit of new build accommodation. This is due to take place July 2019.
