This is the hotel where @maggiemae mum stayed in during her travels in the UK. in 1927?
I just happened to have a photo of it taken on my recent walk with friends so here you are maggie!
It was THE hotel to stay in in Preston & overlooks the beautiful Miller Park & River Ribble.
That awful monstrosity next to it is a building put up by Lancashire County Council & both buildings are used as offices
My daughters mum in law's father was head gardener there after he retired from farming.
Such a spectacular and stately structure...much more character than it's newer neighbor. I'm certain a stay there was quite an event. And such beautiful grounds in the foreground. Lovely photo, Pat.
I did see a picture of it on the net but not like this. My one was down the road. Mum said she was served a lovely dinner by a maid and a butler here! Thanks Pat - so interesting!
How could they erect that monstrosity beside it..........beggars belief........planning makes me soooo angry........however how lovely for Maggiemay that you ahve this shot
