This is my first post so be gentle. I don't know if this has been done before but if it has, I haven't seen it. If I have done anything wrong, I apologise!

Oldham town hall was built in 1841. It is one of the last purpose built town halls in Northwest England. It is a Grade II listed building that used to be used by the council until all the offices were moved to the civic centre. It used to be home to the Police station as well as the court rooms. The building has stood empty since the mid 1980s and has regularly been earmarked for redevelopment as part of regeneration projects, none have been actioned. In October 2009 the Victorian Society, a charity responsible for the study and protection of Britain's Victorian and Edwardian architecture, declared Oldham Town Hall as the most endangered Victorian structure in England and Wales.
