Burnley’s a shithole I want to go home.

Every town has a building like that, it’s when they all look like that you have to worry.

We’ve had the million dollar Town to Turf fiasco to give visitors a good impression of the town and yet the first thing. you see if you get off the train at Burnley Central is this eyesore and it would probable take a demolition company less than a week to clear it and cost a couple of grand to do it.

Which begs the question, why hasn’t it been done.

Couple of new windows and a lick of paint…….

All those old terraced houses in Burnley Wood all knocked and replaced by modern( not saying better housing). How easy was that to do. So why hasn’t this be done. There must be a reason.

The Royal Kompany!

I presume because the owner doesn’t want to demolish it.

[Stevie2112]

Grade 2 Listed Building

[Lakeland Claret]

Wouldn't most people enter Burnley at Manchester Road station if coming by train now ? Slow often cancelled route that goes through Burnley central .

[RammyClaret61]

Easy access to the beer garden.

[MeeActon1]

It is owned privately, demolition commenced but asbestos was found, then mysteriously set on fire and untouched since. The council have, recently, for unknown reasons refused to take enforcement action against the owners to either demolish or make the building safe.

Every town certainly does not have a building like that next to one of its main visitor entry points.

[Lakeland Claret]

It's not the main entry point these days anyway per my last post . Town doing ok with improvement compared to some similar places for me

[bfcjg]

Used to be a popular watering hole in the days of football specials, TBH only time I ever went in there.

[Lubanski]

Friday and Saturday nights, Adelphi and Reindeer after train from Brierfield, then Talbot and Sparrow Hawk, back to Adelphi for last pint and train home, Reindeer had a great Christmas feel about it.

[Tufty]

Is it still open ?

[fatboy47]

Tow it up to Burnley Wood....it'll blend in just fine.

[Volvoclaret]

Great place to house illegal immigrants.

I’ve sent an email to Burnley MP Oliver Ryan asking him to visit this run down area of Burnley. Let’s hope he can ‘bang a few heads together’ at local and county council level and make this area much more pleasant for visitors to the town.

[Clovius Boofus]

Maybe we could stick a Blue Plaque on it and generate some much-needed tourist income.

If he’s not posing with pussycats or posing in Asda he doesn’t want to know.

[HahaYeah]

Reindeer was a better pub than the Adelphi.

[Dressinggown]

The pool room in the Reindeer had quite an 'atmosphere'.

Alternatively, whilst a being town in decline (like many others) we still retain our heritage, have a stunning Pennine location, decent transport links and the residents have a sense of community.

In addition, we have a football team with a long history going from top to bottom along the way. The current population of Burnley is about 78,000. For the Play-Off win at Wembley against Sheffield United in 2009 we took over 38,000 supporters.

Sports and Activities are in abundance locally. Burnley can boast two of the best amateur cricket teams (Burnley CC & Lowerhouse CC) who play in the one of the best amateur leagues in the country.

An added bonus is that award winning Real Ales (also brewed in the area) can be had for £2.00 a pint on Match days. We have had to perform CPR on a number of southern away fans in The New Brewm when they realised that 5 pints cost a tenner as opposed to £35.00 in their local.

Some photos may follow.




I'm proud of my town.

Who is getting off the train at Burnley central? Does that station get any customers these days?

From someone that has moved to Burnley from an apparent better and more affluent neighbouring town I can honesly say Burnley is a great place to live with lots at its doorstep


Anyone can find negatives anywhere but Burnley has a lot going for it and in terms of town centres …. It’s much better than many similar sized towns in the northwest and is only getting better

[Dressinggown]

Admittedly, the entry to the town centre from Burnley Central Station is a complete eyesore. Other passengers arriving via Manchester Road Station have a far more positive experience.

Is that a ghost train in the station

[1fatclaret]

Anyone coming from the Colne / Nelson / Brierfield side for one.

Or people coming from the less used stations towards Preston that the Blackpool train misses out.

So about 6 people every other day, unless there’s a cancellation (there will be)
