Introduction to Littleborough’s History
This, the latest version of the website, contains new pages with additional information some still being developed. It does mot contain fancy artworks or gimmicks, there are other places for that, its purpose is to provide a broad history of Littleborough.
Due to space limitations the website points the way to books and booklets which probably provide the detail you are after.
