Built new in 1874 as a 2mp/13 for Emmanuel church, the organ has undergone substantial enlargement since then, expanding to 3mp/28, principally the work of two Preston builders Ainscough and Phillips. See NPOR N01183.
The instrument is in a poor mechanical state, but it projected a rich and comfortable tone into the building, the hooded Trumpet and Tromba stops particularly striking.
Unfortunately the building has dry rot and must now be vacated. The organ, which has served the church splendidly for nearly 150 years, has to be removed and relocated to avoid its destruction.
It is redundant. It is offered desirably in whole, and is immediately available.
Buyer makes all arrangements for dismantling, packing and transport.
Immediate enquiries to the Diocesan Contact please.
