Ladies and Gents
Spotted this one, 2 days left on bidding
NPOR states that the organ contains Willis parts and was maintained up until 2003 by George Sixsmith

It would appear to be this one:

The building was closed in 2003 so it's a very long shot of course, but does anyone happen to know anything about it?

I would take a very slight view of the attribution of the pipework - nothing in the files regarding this and it looks like it was an original Ainscough job, so highly unlikely anyway.  Ainscough was a good firm in its own right, didn't need to use old FHW stuff to justify its organs!
