Things have gone quiet. Too quiet.
The simple answer is Towneley Hall.

Here's a piece I wrote some years ago. for your edification.

Have you been tickled Missus?
I shan't comment on his smile but she is looking good for a 245 year old. I always thought these statues were marble and now I find they are only plaster replicas. What's the world coming to.
The only coat this lovely lady is likely to wear is the coat of paint she is getting from corporation painter Dennis Watson - she certainly hasn't had any other during the 245 years she has been at Towneley Hall.
Giving "The Towneley Venus" the brush-off is just part of the renovations being carried out in the Towneley entrance hall. The Towneley Venus has stood in the hall for 245 years. A plaster cast modelled on the goddess "Aphrodite" she needs regular careful treatment every two months according to the hall's curator, Mr. Hector Thornton.
The Venus' partner in the entrance hall, "The Dancing Faun" has received similar careful attention.

Correct Kev but I am wondering if Ken is serious about Colne? I never know when he is in humour mode. Is that true Ken?
