The new Northwest Police
Benevolent Fund facility
at St Michaels Lodge
Ideally situated in the village of Langho in the Ribble
Valley, an area of outstanding natural beauty. Close
to Blackburn, Clitheroe and the heritage attractions
of Whalley Abbey, Stonyhurst College and Pendle Hill
yet within easy reach of the Motorway Networks.
History
This imposing early 20th Century Lodge was the village
primary school from 1911 to 1983. After closure the School
sadly remained derelict until conversion to a privately
owned hotel began in 1990.
In November 2008 the North West Police Benevolent Fund
purchased the building and since that date an extensive
expansion and renovation to the building has taken place.
The renovations have been completed to a very high
standard and refurbished with style and elegance whilst
retaining its natural charm and sense of history, with the old
School yard providing plenty of off road parking.
