The story behind the troubled barn is simple, Leeds City Council intend to sell this historic barn to local developers instead of keeping it as a historic landmark.
We intend to save this barn from the fate of developers, the local area around this barn has been bleated by developers during the previous years who in turn have destroyed the local heritage of this once well known coal mining and mill town, 75% of the local mills have either been converted to flats or demolished to make way for un-needed local housing, Many of these new developments still stand empty, Don't let stank Hall Barn Suffer the same fate, Help us make a difference, please sign this petition to show that you do not want Stank Hall Barn to be sold to Developers, instead sold to a private invester who will keep it as it should be and available to the public.
Please continue to put pressure on the council.
I was brought up in Beeston and visited Stank Hall Barn. It would be a tragedy to lose such an important part of our heritage. Don't let developers get hold of it!!
I LIVED AT NEW HALL NEXT TO STANK HALL FOR 23 YEARS MY FAMILY HAD LIVED THEIR FOR OVER 200 YEARS I Hada very happy childhood there and would not want it to go to rack and ruin it is a part of our heritage
Yesterday saw a tragedy to new hall on the stank hall estate when a fire broke out and ripped through the building in the early hours of the 20th Oct 2011. One of the main reasons these things happen is due to the neglect of leeds city council. It’s time the community stuck together and raised money to save these sites.
Hi, I’m a reporter at the Yorkshire Evening Post wanting to do a feature on Stank Hall Barn and ask some questions of the council about its future. I’d be interested in speaking to you. Please could you give me a call on 0113 2388466. Regards, Sam
Crying shame both barn and cottages have been left to be vandalised and now burnt down, I wrote to the council many years ago asking to purchase and develop one of the cottages to become a family home, the response i got that at present they were unsure what was happening more than likely waiting for a large development company to flatten all, we need to regenerate the area not over develop
