Slaidburn Archive
Open Wednesday and Friday 11.00-3.00 Please contact prior to your visit to confirm availability.
Since opening in 2005, the Slaidburn Archive has gone from strength to strength, not only as a place for people to deposit local information and photos for safe keeping or to be copied, but also as an essential resource for people to research their families and the surrounding areas.
Winner of the Forest of Bowland AONB ‘Vibrant Community Award’ in 2014,
the Slaidburn Archive is housed in one of Slaidburn’s oldest buildings and is a treasure trove of documents, photographs and information relating to the history of the upper Hodder Valley and its inhabitants.
The new display room tells about the history of the area and is free to visit during opening hours. Donations are welcomed.
The Archive has also produced a range of local history books based on research done by staff and volunteers, please check out the website for more information.
