Presently in the old Bluecoat School building, next to the parish church.
That was something I did not expect at all, well done to whoever had the foresight to salvage these historic mediaeval remains and to Mick for submitting.
Glad to see that some part of those buildings have been preserved Mick.
I second these comments - i had no idea this timber was here. True history.
So glad that these have been saved, they are brilliant !
I think it might be possible to view them at present - the building is usually open as a charity shop, in the run up to Christmas.
Yes, I often go in when it's open as a charity shop. Worth going to see the timber and the people running the charity shop are very nice.
Going with the History Group from Westhoughton on a tour of the Parish Church next week so I will tell them about this timber! Hope it is open in the daytime!
