Expert gramophone and radio at Leighton Hall

Post by epigramophone »

Leighton Hall near Carnforth, Lancashire is the ancestral home of the Gillow furniture manufacturing family.

The pictures probably date from the 1940's and show what appears to be an Expert Senior and a radio. Presumably the second horn mounted at ceiling level acted as the radio speaker. Like many grand houses, Leighton Hall is now a wedding and corporate function venue, but remains a family home. The music room still has a Steinway piano, but what became of the Expert?
