Player Organ In Lytham Hall, Lancashire
By Brian Chesters

Lytham Hall is located three miles from my house in Lancashire.  I have
attached three images of an organ that was installed there.  Actually
it appears there were two consoles, of two and three manuals.  The
three manual console appears to be free standing in front of a fire so
possibly is not installed.  The rolls for the player system can be seen.

Questions:  Is this an Aeolian organ or some other?  Does anyone know
when it was installed and removed?  Where is it now?  Discuss.
