The Grade II listed building dates back to the mid-18th century and has fallen victim to vandalism and arson
A fire broke out at a historic pub in Ormskirk last night - a building which has been empty for seven years.
In February last year, permission to allow allow the pub to be renovated and refurbished to form six one-bed apartments was granted. Proposals said that the existing extension will be knocked down and a new one built containing three one-bed maisonettes.The Grade II listed building dates back to the mid-18th century and now lies in a sorry state, falling victim to vandalism and arson as well as the damp, water ingress and plant growth caused by years of dereliction.
The Windmill was listed as building of national importance in 1972 on the basis that it represented a good example of an 18th century inn and is recorded as one of Ormskirk’s oldest inns and for its sporting association with the bowling green.
