Alston Hall
Alston Hall is a 19th-century Victorian gothic style country mansion located in Longridge (near Preston) in Lancashire, England. It is not to be confused with the 15th-century Alston Old Hall nearby. ==History== Alston Hall, designed by the architect Alfred Darbyshire, was built c.1876 for John Mercer, a Newton-le-Willows colliery owner. It passed down to his granddaughter, who was a nun, and was then sold to the Eccles cotton manufacturing family who sold it in turn to William Birtwistle, another wealthy cotton industrialist. In 1949 the Birtwistles sold most of the land to the Church Commissioners and the Hall itself, together with the remaining three acres of land, to Preston Borough Council as a Day Continuation College. In 1974 it was purchased by Lancashire County Council and converted to an residential training centre. 〔 (【引用サイトリンク】 Alston Hall ) 〕〔 (【引用サイトリンク】title= Alston Hall Company profile ) 〕 Alston Hall is still owned and operated by Lancashire Adult Learning (part of Lancashire County Council) as an adult residential college and corporate event venue.
