The repair has been done and backfilled! Most main drainage pipes run in a straight line? But we’ll have to wait and see eh! Hope it wasn’t a “make it look like we’re doing something” repair job? 🤷🏻♂️

Lee Lane Independent Methodist Church in Horwich has been sold again! Let's hope it's not knocked down or has a mysterious fire eh! It would have made a great replacement indoor market to replace the one we lost because Bolton Council couldn't be bothered with it's upkeep. #Horwich
