Recent Changes to the Website
The answers to the Quiz of our facebook page ‘Littleborough History Society are now on this website.
Also see the new page on ‘Turnpike’ for a detailed history of the Turnpike and other Toll Roads in and around Littleborough.
The ‘History Trails’ now published provide almost a complete guide to Littleborough and Smithy Bridge and largely replace the ‘Littleborough’ book which has been out of print for some time and is in very limited supply. These can be obtained from Kelsall’s Book shop in the Square, The Coach House on Lodge Street and from the History Centre - see also the Pub Book page for its special price.
