They’re part of Keeping East Lancashire in the Picture – a two-year project led by volunteers and supported by Lancashire Archives. The initiative brings together people from all walks of life to digitise and share historic photos from libraries in Burnley, Colne, Nelson and Accrington.
Funded by The National Lottery Heritage Fund and the Friends of Lancashire Archives, the project is all about making these treasured memories more accessible, inclusive and future-proof for generations to come.
