Should Bury Market Hall be a listed building?
Available for over a year
Bury Market Hall closed its doors over safety fears in October and dozens of traders had to move out after weak RAAC concrete was discovered in the roof. Bury Council says repairs will cost at least six million pounds and it's reviewing its options. Now an application has been made to list the Market Hall and protect it from demolition. The 20th Century Society says the building is very special and of "undoubted architectural interest".
