Donald,
I visited Shrigley today to arrange further enlargements to be displayed there. I had a most interesting afternoon.
I met a man called Phil Bell, who is Group Maintenance Manager for the hotel chain. He used to be at Shrigley. He asked me for information about the history of a building I never knew existed - certainly I do not recall it. Photographs attached of the barn-like building, adjacent to what I remember as a spud field.
It is above the car park, difficult to get to without going onto the golf course. It has in it old Shrigley desks and dormitory lockers and furniture remnants you might recognise.It was obviously a barn , as there is a feeding trough along one wall. There is an upper floor in one part of the building. He asked if anyone ever lived there, but I thought that unlikely.
Anything you can tell be about the building and its use in Salesian times I will pass on to Phil Bell.
Best wishes,
Mike
