History and Local History
Group Leader: Edith Thorp
The group meets on the 1st Thursday of each month.
We aim to have a varied programme with something for everyone: History includes talks ranging from past history to modern; Local History is mainly focussed on Burnley and surrounding areas, from cotton mills to canals.
We try to involve everyone and like everyone to add their own thoughts and ideas. At the moment we are working on a project about the history of local theatre and cinema, where everyone is involved and can add their own ideas. One newly adopted idea is to visit sites of local historical interest and recently we visited Pendle Hippodrome for a theatre tour. We are hoping to arrange more outings in the future.
Come and join us on the first Thursday of the Month.
We meet in the Unity Centre, Padiham Unitarian Church, Padiham, from 10.30 am to 12.00. All are welcome.
