The report addresses survival numbers, occupancy levels and condition. It reveals that 45% of historic mills in Greater Manchester have been demolished in the last 30 years. It also highlights their potential, with over a million square metres of vacant space available to accommodate the homes and businesses of the future. Just over half of surviving mills are in good order and make a positive contribution to the economy&#8230;.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div id=\"3b2bb349\" class=\"text-col content\">\n<hr \/>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div id=\"Lancashire\" class=\"text-col content\">\n<h2 class=\"h2\">Lancashire Textile Mills: Stage 2 Survey<\/h2>\n<p>\u2018Buildings at Risk\u2019 assessment survey final report was produced by Oxford Archaeology North for Historic England.

It highlights the historic growth of the region\u2019s textile industry, and also the architectural form and evolution of Lancashire\u2019s mills. It shows that mills can be readily adapted to modern use as viable spaces, allowing northern textile towns to retain their sense of place&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/historicengland.org.uk\/get-involved\/protect\/mills-of-the-north\/research-and-guidance\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read more&#8230;.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div id=\"95eac2b3\" class=\"text-col content\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Historic England (HE) has commissioned and published a number of pieces of research into mills.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-31373","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-sector-newsblog"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31373","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=31373"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31373\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":31375,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31373\/revisions\/31375"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=31373"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=31373"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=31373"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
