An East Lancashire training group is looking to sell its rare Titanic memorabilia collection and is asking for serious offers only of more than £10,000. 

North Lancs' Training Group's head office at Bradshawgate House in Accrington has an unusual boardroom, housing rare memorabilia from the Titanic.

But ahead of a full refurbishment of the premises, the managing directors are looking to sell off the hoard, or donate the items to a museum. 

The boardroom is filled with wood panelling and contains a replica mahogany Captain’s Table from the Titanic (one of only 50 ever made), chairs, a sideboard, a replica of the Titanic itself and a teaspoon, amongst other unusual memorabilia.

Managing director of NLTG, Gareth Lindsay, said: “The boardroom is a magnificent tribute to the Titanic, however, we feel that it’s time to move the exhibits to a good home as we invest in and refurbish our premises.

"Perhaps there are relatives of people involved who would like to own a piece of history, or we are open to donating them to a museum.

"We would be looking for financial offers of over £10,000 due to the rarity of the pieces we have, and we have quite a few of them.

"We are also willing to donate to a museum if they will be displayed for the public to see – it’s not possible to allow people in to see our boardroom, and this would give the pieces a fitting next chapter in their existence.

"We also have lots of smaller items, including replica limited edition prints, which we will make available by separate negotiation to allow people to take a smaller piece of the collection.

"If anyone would like to make an offer or enquire, please do get in touch with us. We would love to see them go to a great home."

North Lancs' Training Group, which offers apprenticeships, traineeships, courses and recruitment services came to possess such items after the original manufacturers of the Captain’s Table - Gilbert Logan and Sons - became a member company of the group.

At the time, the managing director of NLTG decided to commemorate Gilbert Logan and Sons' strength in the furniture industry by theming the company's new board room in commemoration of the Titanic.

East Lancashire has many strong connections to the Titanic tragedy, which happened on April 14 1912.

There were said to be more than 100 Lancashire-based personnel who were aboard, including bandmaster Wallace Hartley who was from Colne.
