We had a brilliant time in #Lancaster on Saturday, celebrating the north-west's history and talking to people about Lancashire Archives and how the Friends support their work. And we were delighted to welcome five new Friends members who signed up on the day. flarchives.co.uk/about/join-us

There's an amazing treasure trove of wonderful historic photos of life in East Lancashire waiting to be revealed - and you could help to make it happen👇
