Historic building closed because of asbestos concerns
Story from the BBC about the closing of Ordsall Hall, a 12th Century building near Manchester. Buildings that old typically have been through many additions, renovations, and rebuilds. Somewhere along the way asbestos was apparently put into the boiler room. Records were not always kept in the old days. Now the Salford City Council has closed the building until the asbestos can be removed. The council is trying to make Ordsall Hall, which is designated as a historic Grade 1 building, into a visitor attraction.
