I AM currently researching the history of Farington Lodge, a Grade 11 listed building in Stanifield Lane, Farington.

From the mid 1930s to the 1970s, it was owned by Leyland Motors and was used as their guest house and hotel, during which time their housekeeper was Miss Pomeroy.

I wonder if any of your readers remember Miss Pomeroy or anything about her?

I understand that she died after an accident when she fell down the stairs at Farington Lodge. Can anyone tell me when this was?

I have also heard that her ghost still haunts that area of the building!

I would be very grateful for any information at all on Miss Pomeroy that any readers can pass on to me.
