Sad to hear about the Falcon Works fire at the back of the London Road in Stoke town. As far as I know it’s been derelict since at least the mid 1990s, so, really… what can you expect after thirty years? These things have to be either i) properly re-used within 15 years; ii) totally and deliberately abandoned to nature as an eco-ruin, probably with floors removed and other measures to prevent it becoming a haven for druggies; iii) shipped off brick-by-brick for reconstruction at the Black Country Museum; or iv) the site cleared with the intention of building on it in a few decades’ time.
