Today is Lancashire Day - to celebrate why not learn about the counties people and history!
“It Happened in Lancashire” brings to life the county’s rich, often surprising history in a lively, accessible way. From the world’s largest tripe factory to the first British canal, the book weaves together the triumphs, tragedies and everyday tales that shaped the place we call home.
