A new book about how Lancashire shaped the modern world has been published by a Ribble Valley travel writer.

‘Lancashire - Exploring the County that Made the Modern World’ has been written by Chris Moss, who will be holding a number of launch events around the county.

Chris, who lives near Downham, will talk about the genesis and writing of his book, and consider Lancashire’s central role in modern history as a crucible of industry, of new ideas about leisure and transport, and of entertainment, sports and the creative arts.

The author has returns to his native county after a hiatus of almost four decades living in London, Buenos Aires, South Wales and Devon.
