Demolition work under way at Wigan's historic Pagefield Mill site

Demolition work is under way at the historic Pagefield Mill site, which has become a hot-spot for crime and anti-social behaviour in recent years.

The Swinley site is privately-owned, but Wigan Council bosses decided the nursery building needed to be knocked down, as it is in a dangerous condition after several fires and is used by trespassers to access other parts of the site. Thank you to reader Brian King for his aerial shots of the site.
