Post  HAC on Fri Oct 24, 2008 5:03 am

Figured to sell in the £250,00-£300,000 range...
Hmm, if I sold my place, I could get about £170,000, might have to borrow a bit...

It's in Bolton.. I think I have the address somewheres. One of the issues for a potential buyer is that the house is listed (Grade II) with English heritage, and that does put a few restrictions on what one can do with it...

(I have some pics of the interior, I'll scan them and post later)

In Google Earth:
LAT - 53°34'35.37"N
Long - 2°24'48.43"W

As far as being close, Bolton's just over 20 miles south of my ancestral hometown of Clitheroe.

Yeah! Right!

Like us Lancastrians would let you take it away!

We don't mind you having unimportant stuff like London Bridge.

There was a nasty row over inheritance betweeen Fred's first wivesm, and Sheila, his widow. Fred leaf an estate well in excess of 1 million pounds.
One of his sons is still active in the steam traction hobby, and Sheila was the main driver in the campaign (sucessfull, I might add) to gte a statue of Fred erected in Bolton.. The statue has its detractors, who feel it looks "n'owt like oor Fred"..
