Английская Википедия:Ashley Hall, Lancashire
Ashley Hall (also known as Ashley House)[1] is a three-storey mansion in the Skippool area of Thornton, Lancashire, England. Set in around Шаблон:Convert and built in the Roaring Twenties,[2][3] it was, for many years, the home for several celebrities who were appearing in Blackpool's summer shows.[4] These include Danny La Rue, Joe Longthorne and Dorothy Squires.[5]
Also in its grounds are two two-bedroom cottages (known as "The Housekeepers Cottage" and "The Gardeners Cottage"), a stable block and a Dutch barn. An annexe extension was built around 1980.[4]
Built by T. B. Silcock,[6] the property was owned by hotelier Len Rawcliffe[7] from the 1970s until his death in 2021. It remains in the Rawcliffe family, but in 2022 it was put on the market for £3.75 million.[4] Prior to that, it was owned by Mr and Mrs Percy Hawtin, who permitted the public to tour the grounds.[1]
Ashley Hall stood across Skippool Road from another mansion, Illawalla, which was demolished in 1996.
