There is a photo in the Jubilee book Jelly Baby .. well, says photo, but looks like a sketch to me. Presume you may have seen this already. If not, will try and get it scanned for you. This is the text that goes along with it :
'Built about the beginning of the seventeenth century, was one of the most ancient halls of Accrington, and was situated where Lonsdale Street and Newark Street now stand. (well not now .. LOL). The Rishtons inhabited it until 1821. In later years it was divided into tenements, and was finally demolished to make way for town improvements'

Valerie Walsh was her maiden name Jaysay, sorry. She was a year above me at school.
