the only one of its kind in the Ribble Valley and possibly in the North of England. It was designed and built by its present owner, Maggi Amiable, of Rossendale, and its rarity lies in the fact that is it is a recent structure which truly captures a bygone period. Private investors and commercial entrepreneurs
are being invited to a special viewing at the museum on Wednesday, although many have already had a peep at the house as routine visitors to the premises. The house, which is expected to bring a four to five figure sum, goes on sale on Wednesday, March 29th, at the Broughton Park Country Hotel,' Preston. The auctioneers say: “We are delighted to have the
