A huge new mosque is set to be built in Bolton after an existing one is demolished.
The Makkah Mosque, Grecian Crescent, Great Lever has been granted permission by Bolton Council to demolish its current building, which is more than 100 years old and has been used as a mosque since 1977.
In its place will be built a three-storey new mosque which will have more than double the floorspace, a prayer hall mezzanine and a roof garden. The development will be phased to allow continued use of the Mosque and to stagger community fund-raising efforts.
