53 King St in Blackburn is a Georgian Townhouse which is threatened with demolition by the local council so that they can build a road. The house was listed in 1987 by the very same council to stop it from being demolished to build a road. This house was built in the 1780's & still has interior features from the 1840's which set it apart, maknig it a hidden gem. The council have been told that they must now hold a public enquiry be for a decision can be made as to the future of this building. The reason for this petition is to show the local council that our Heritage must be preserved for future generations to enjoy & study.
