The 18th-century mill is currently covered with scaffolding for maintenance repairs
Historic Marsh Mill’s 25-year lease by Wyre Council is set to come to an end. The 18th century mill is currently covered with scaffolding as the council carries out the remaining maintenance repairs needed before the lease ends on June 30.
However, the council has now decided it no longer wishes to keep up the lease and is, effectively, handing it back to Melrose.Rob Chadwick, managing director of Melrose Development Services, said: “The council has been our tenant for the last 25 years but now it is giving it back to us, and prior to the lease ending, it is carrying out what is called dilapidation work. This is a combination of decorative and repair work which we ask the council to carry out as part of the lease.
Mr Chadwick said he was not yet in a position to discuss the future of the property once the lease ends. Melrose is also the owner of the Marsh Mill Village retail complex which surrounds the mill.A Wyre Council spokesman said: “The Councils’ lease of the Grade II* Listed Marsh Mill is coming to an end this summer and the premises will transfer over to Freehold owner Melrose Developments Limited on expiry of the lease.
