How much are they looking for so we can start Auntie raising the funds, she'll have it done in a weekend!
I agree Graham, but if you were the bank would you lend money on them as a going concern?
I think these days folk don't have as much spare cash to buy these treasured items, maybe they will auction them again at lower estimates, also the cost of hotels and B&B's is creeping up, once again where folk would have a few days in Holmfirth they cannot afford it, I noticed eating out was getting expensive and the pubs that used to serve food 7 days a week were down to just 3 or 4 days, folk told me the Bay Horse was expensive but compared to some it's middle of the road prices, the best quality and value I found recently was the Fleece in Holme, a few mile out of town and oddly a good bus service if you don't have a car.Sadly you fear for both , the fan base is ageing so the demand for either as an attraction is diminishing . Any potential purchaser of the Tour Bus could do with Leigh's/ Terry's/Roger's input to revise the "script" and hope that the footfall grows . No criticism but the exhibition could do with some remodelling because its a collection of props and perhaps would benefit from being laid out in a more informative manner but you fear it could go and the items auctioned . An example of the diminishing audience is perhaps the fact the Jean's scripts did not sell , go back a few years and they would have been snapped up at premium prices.
Below is a sample menu, not considered the cheapest food, but great portions, well cooked, fast service, Thursday night is pie night with around 10 assorted pie fillings to choose from
