News: Millmoor demolition plans submitted
The pub, not the football ground.
C.F. Booth, one of the largest independently run recycling companies in Europe, is planning to demolish a number of buildings at its large Masbrough site, including the Millmoor pub and Victoria Hall.
The company specialises in metal recycling and metal ingot manufacturing of both ferrous and non ferrous metals for UK import and export. Its Clarence Metal Works on Armer Street is thought to be the largest scrapyard in Europe.
Plans have recently been submitted to the council to see whether prior approval is required to demolish around 14 older buildings between Millmoor Lane and the Holmes Tail Goit that runs through the site. It is expected that two workshops will remain.
The most recent investment saw the company replace an old storage building with a new larger one in 2011.
The former home of Rotherham United, Millmoor, adjoins the application site but is not part of the planning application drawn up by architects, Nuttall Yarwood and Partners. The Millmoor pub closed when the club left Millmoor in 2008 and the Victoria Hall was most recently used as a boxing gym but is in a very poor state of disrepair.
Without regular tenants, the football ground, the home of The Millers for over 100 years, was set to host home games for the Rotherham Titans, the town's rugby team, but talks broke down in 2011 after "a commercially viable solution could not be found."
Rotherham United has just completed its first successful season in the £20m New York Stadium close to the town centre.
Established in 1920, C.F. Booth has grown from a local metal trader and sustained investment in staff, technology and equipment enables C.F. Booth to be at the forefront of the industry and able to meet the ever growing global demand for recycled metals.
An extensive range of services includes specialist forms of scrap metal recycling and the trading and processing of all grades of ferrous and non-ferrous scrap.
With sales of £236.9m, the firm was awarded the prestigious Queen's Award for Enterprise for International Trade in 2012 as export sales reached an impressive £132m in 2011.
A decision on the plans is expected in June.
