These images come from Keeping East Lancashire in the Picture – a project led by Lancashire Archives and powered by local volunteers. The aim? To digitise and preserve photo collections from libraries in Burnley, Colne, Nelson and Accrington, making them more accessible and inclusive for future generations.
The project is supported by the National Lottery Heritage Fund and the Friends of Lancashire Archives.
