Buying my books (new ones)
Lancastrians: Mills, Mines and Minarets 
The book itself isn’t a ‘conventional’ history and covers different themes of Lancashire history, including sport, culture, politics, industry and religion. It explores the Lancastrians who left for new lives in America, Canada, Russia and South Africa, as well as the ‘New Lancastrians’ who have settled in the county since the 14th century. There are about forty ‘potted biographies’ of men and women who have made important (but often neglected) contributions to Lancashire.
The book is hardback, price £25(available from me for £25 including postage). Available from Beach Hut Gallery, Kents Bank, Bolton Central Library Kiosk, Justicia (Bolton)
SPECIAL OFFER FOR LANCASHIRE DAY 2024: £20 INCLUDING POSTAGE. OFFER IS VALID UNTIL DECEMBER 1ST
