"Sunday Eccle Riggs Broughton-in-Furness Dear Anne. Sorry to say that I am leaving here as soon as I can. I was home yesterday, and went to see the Dr. and he ordered me home as soon as possible. It's my feet again- so some luck for me. I'm about fed up. I come home Monday I think. With love from Maggie”

It was built in 1865 in Tudor style for Richard Assheton Cross and designed by the Lancaster architect E. G. Paley. A dining-room wing was added in 1880 by the Manchester architect J. S. Crowther. It has since been used as a leisure club. Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eccle_Riggs
