I used to work there - sad to see. The majority of what they sell goes directly from China to countries overseas - so hopefully this won't have too much impact.

Tyrone Shoelaces Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 (edited) One of our large local shopping centres has been bought by “ the Blackburn based Adhan Group “. They got it for a song really, Anybody know anything about them. What I can find out on the internet leads me to think this isn’t going to end well.

As a kid I always remember corpy park looking amazing and was always busy. The last time I was in the park (Last summer) it was packed, lots of families having picnics, just like you remember it. The conservatory has seen better days of course and 'the friends of corporation park' have done a great job in helping to secure funding as the building is superb, a real treasure and deserves to be saved and put back to its former glory.
