The River House

The River House is an historic building in the Skippool area of Thornton-Cleveleys, Lancashire, England. Built in the late 1830s, it was once a restaurant frequented by the likes of Rudolf Nureyev, George Harrison and prominent politicians[1] and was run by members of the Scott family.[2][3] Today it is a private residence,[4] with an addition on the northern side of the property.
