King's House, Slaidburn

King's House is a Grade II listed building in Slaidburn, Lancashire, England, now used as a youth hostel. It was originally built in the 18th century, although parts of the building date back to the 17th century, as the Black Bull public house. The building remained an inn until 1932 when it was rented to YHA and has remained in use as a youth hostel since then. The official opening took place on 28 August 1932. The name King's House is derived from the King family who owned the village the 17th century and whose descendants, the King-Wilkinson family, still own most of the properties in the village.
