Roscoe House. Liverpool
The former home of one of Liverpool’s greatest sons, Roscoe House bears the name of its eighteenth century former owner, William Roscoe. Responsible for a diverse range of literary works, his most famous is almost certainly The Butterflies Ball. However, he is, perhaps, most widely recognised for his valiant stance against the slave trade. Interestingly, another of his homes, Allerton Hall, is today a pub on the outskirts of the city.

The Swan & Royal. Clitheroe
A former coaching inn dating back to the early nineteenth century, the Swan & Royal’s most famous former guest is surely Mahatma Ghandi. Visiting in 1933, he used the hotel as a base while visiting a nearby cotton mill (information from which he would later take back to India and use to good effect).
The inn also played host to Sir Winston Churchill between 1940 and 1941 while the Mrime Minister was visiting the nearby factory of jet engine pioneer, Sir Frank Whittle.
