Sadly it's not been able to sustain funding and has been closed some time now. They have been joined up with Denton branch now. It wasn't the same after Rick passed away. He's probably one of those gent's building it.

Sadly the district forced it to closed down due to too few leaders and no committee. The leaders that where left after Rick passed away wanted to continue but the district would not allow them.

Theyre still boys today using this scout hut. They should have these photos up on the wall in there really..

[@bertdingle]

The photos where digitised and the originals given to the scouts many years ago.

mmmmmmm asbestos roof eh! mmmmmm deadly

[@bertdingle]

Thankfully it was professionally removed in the 80's. Probably cost more to remove than the building cost in the first place. What with asbestos, lead paint, pollution, woodbines and ten pints a day it's amazing people lived as long as they did.
