Re: Chaigley Manor Trust

myself and a school friend stopped there in the late 80's.

The bad
About 12-18 boys stopping in the same room all dead quiet(almost felt like fear) age groups to one room. I didn't get a room with my friend, and there was a boy that wet bed every single night.
There was older boys, about 13-15 years old, One of them put his sunglasses on top of a door(of all places to put them) and when I entered they fell off and they broke. I spent half my holiday running away.

The Good
I remember playing on an old organ a lot. Going Clitheroe swimming baths, doing some fishing(at some place called paradise?). Quite a bit of walking of where we went looking for clay pigeons. There was some swings outside the front of the manor and a couple of mattresses laid out on the ground. We would take the swings up high and jump off onto the mattresses.

There was these Redberries, we picked them in the morning and the cooks made a pudding out of them in the evening. That pudding was great.
