Astley Hall, Chorley

Having an appointment in Chorley this afternoon I took a slight detour on the way back to visit Astley Hall in Chorley looking for something different for a Blip.

My original thought was to convert the image to monochrome but having tried it decided that I prefaced the colour version after all.

Astley hall has quite a lot of history surrounding it and I will attach the link to the wiki pages for anyone interested.
