Hello list members. I'm not sure if this is the correct forum, however I am looking for anyone who might have information on the organ in the former URC in Somerset Road Bolton. I am writing from Melbourne Australia. I have recently acquired this pipe organ which has been dismantled, packed and is currently being shipped here. The organ is to be rebuilt in my residence, and I am keen to chronicle it's history, along with the story of it's relocation half way around the world ! The know history of the organ is sketchy, and the builders name plate has long since gone. All we know is that it was origianlly built for a Mill Owners home in the 1870's and came to reside in the Bolton URC in 1911, where it has been ever since. The current church owners know little of the organ's history. I have also been in contact with the last know organ builder who attended the organ in the late 1990's, but they can't provide any further details. I have also tried to contact the organ company whose service plate was found within the organ when it was dismantled (dated 1960), but unfortunately the company went out of business 4 years ago, and all their records have gone. I am wondering if there might be a former church official, or congregation member who might have any information about the history of this instrument. Thank you in anticipation.
