Formed in 1998 on the initiative of town crier Roy Harkness and local journalist Angela Birchall, the Heritage Association aims to promote an interest in the history and heritage of West Lancashire. The Association is a Registered Charity and organises regular events where the history of the area is discussed. We aim to extend our activities to provide information resources to local schools and other organisations and eventually a local museum to display information and artefacts from the area.
Membership is open to all who are interested in the history and heritage of West Lancashire. We hold regular meetings at Hurlston hall Golf Club, Scarisbrick and all are welcome. For more information click to contact the Membership Secretary. Bob Ireland robertireland1947@hotmail.com
