Leyland Historical Society

HERITAGE CENTRE 2024.

The Leyland Historical Society celebrated their 50th Anniversary back in 2018 taking over an empty shop at 55 Hough Lane for a pop up Heritage Centre Here we launched the Industrial Heritage Oral History Project which so far has led to 278 interviews taking place.

The Historical Society is doing it again so from Saturday 31st August for nine weeks, a Heritage Centre is open Tuesday to Saturday, from 10am until 4 pm to display the history of Leyland and what we have discovered in the last six years.

The Society have taken over No 14 Hough Lane formally No 6 Hope Terrace (next to Lloyds Bank) so we hope to see many of the Leyland Memories, Historical Society members and non members as we can.

As part of the Centre we have documented the story of each of the shops along Hope Terrace from Thurston Road to Sumner Street and are to display the findings in each of the current businesses as well as in the Heritage Centre.
