8000 Quid, five days left .


May the 18th 1980 Ian Curtis the singer of Joy Division took his 
own life in the Kitchen of the house he lived in with his wife Debbie at
 77 Barton Street.
Debbie Curtis then sold the house and many of its contents to a neighbour Dorothy Smith who then ran it as a B and B.
In 1996 the table was passed to Dorothy's Daughter Vicky Morgan when she got married and set up home in Macclesfield.
In
 December 2005 the Morgan's were redecorating and felt that the table no
 longer fitted in with their own home. They offered the table back to 
the family and contacted them via Marco of Joy Division Central.
With
 the filming of Control taking place in Barton Street and Natalie Curtis
 arranging the props the table was offered but was declined.
Natalie
 Curtis, Ian and Debbie's daughter was then going to take the table for 
her own flat but in the end decided to have one of her mums instead 
which belonged to her Grandmother.
At that point it went on Ebay and I travelled to Macclesfield after winning the bid.
Control then went on general release and the Legend Grew.
Included
 with the Table are confirmation of authenticity from Natalie Curtis, 
Debbie Curtis, Marco from Joy Division Central and Vicky Morgan. Also 
there is a four page print from a web site with pics taken inside 77 
Barton Street when it was a B and B and a picture of Dorothy Smith.
The Measurements are:-
75 cm Wide98 cm Long76 cm TallExtend Flaps 28 cm each.
