We will start our day with a visit to Heskin Hall Shopping Village Nr.Chorley.  Set in open countryside. Plenty of interest here  and a selection of individually owned shops. The perfect place if your are looking for a special something. There is a nice cafe, Hepplestones Art Gallery, Ice Cream Parlour and a selection of fresh food outlets.  Then we will cross over to Heskin Hall. A Lancashire Tudor Manor House dating back to the l500’s. with an interesting history. It is now one of the largest antique centres in the North West with individually owned antique outlets. Here we will have a 2 course hot meal followed by tea/coffee. We will then have a talk (subject to be confirmed but relating to the property) and time to wander and see some of the valuables on offer.

WHEN?? Thursday 18th April 2024. Departing 9.15am Returning 5pm. Price: £25 inc. 2 course lunch/tea/coffee. Seats will be on sale at our table on Tuesday  6th February 2024.

Due to unanticipated demand , it has been necessary to add one additional canal boat

Therefore there will be two separate trips , one at 12 noon and one at 2.30pm . There is now availability for 48 members to take the trip , 24 at 12 noon and 24 at 2.30pm. The coach for the 12 noon trip will leave Maghull Square at 11.20am and the coach for the 2.30pm trip will leave at 1.50pm (times are approximate)

I have 19 members ( some added off the reserve list) who have yet to pay. Payment is  required urgently as I have 2 members on the reserve list.who will be given consideration for a place if payments are not made shortly. I have split the 48 members currently on the list into 4 groups of 12 (24 for 12noon and 24 for 2.30approx.)

Please text me on 07826 048379 if either of the times is unacceptable  or if discussion is required.

The 1841 census is considered to be the first modern UK census. Each householder was required to complete a census schedule which contained the household address and the names, ages, sexes, occupations and places of birth of each individual living at the address.
