An abandoned church which overlooks Hollingsworth Lake in Littleborough is coming to the market later this month
St Hilda’s CE Mission closed in the 1990’s and has been at the centre of the community’s intrigue for years now, and it’s going live for auction with Pugh – starting at a guide price of £25,000.
It is within walking distance of a variety of amenities available within Smithy Bridge and the land which covers 899 Sq Yds could be suitable for a variety of future uses including possible development potential, subject to any necessary consents
Edward Feather, Associate Director at Pugh Auctions says;
“St Hilda’s mission church is an intriguing and unusual property that presents a unique opportunity for the right buyer.
Founded in 1931, the church closed in 1998 and has stood derelict ever since.
The dilapidated remains have caught the attention of many history enthusiasts and passers-by because of its eerie appearance on the Lancashire landscape.
Interestingly, it can only be accessed by foot which adds to the property’s mystery. But for the right buyer I have no doubt that this historic property is a true gem.”
