The entrance at the eight-acre site of the former Intex Yarns plant at York Street in Radcliffe. An application to build 200 family homes, an extension to a depot and a car park has been approved by Bury council’s planning committee. (Although not without some controversy - http://menmedia.co.uk/manchestereveningnews/news/s/1472796_revealed-radcliffe-site-at-the-centre-of-police-inquiry-into-two-top-bury-councillors - Manchester Evening News). The site had been a sprawl of empty and boarded-up buildings for about a decade, but a demolition crew razed the site during the latter half of 2011 and, now, only a small number of buildings remain.
