THE past few weeks have seen the disused Calderstones Hospital at Whalley and the recently-closed homes for the elderly in Blackburn identified as buildings to house the victims of war from Kosovo.
You reported (LET, May 20) that the recently-closed Park Lee Hospital in Blackburn had been sold to a board of trustees and that the chairman of the Lancashire Council of Mosques had confirmed that it will eventually be used as a single-sex boarding school by a group of Islamic scholars.
If this building is lanquishing unused at present, would it not be a fitting gesture from the Muslim community to offer it as temporary accommodation for their brothers in distress?
