Save Spodden Valley
Save Spodden Valley was formed as a direct response to the actions of the new owners of the former Turner Brothers Asbestos site and its tree felling contractor on the weekend
of May 15th /16th 2004.
WHY ARE WE CONCERNED?
THE ROCHDALE TURNER BROTHERS ASBESTOS (TBA) SITE WAS THE LARGEST ASBESTOS TEXTILE FACTORY IN THE WORLD.
THE SITE PROCESSED ASBESTOS FOR OVER 100 YEARS
DOCUMENTS FROM 1957 CONFIRM THAT TBA WAS
DUMPING OVER 300 TONS OF WASTE DUST PER YEAR
ASBESTOS WASTE WAS DUMPED AROUND THE ROCHDALE SITE FOR DECADES
