The History Group of approximately 70 people in the Meeting Room waiting for the talk to start.

This group arranges informal presentations on a variety of topics of historical interest, both local and general.

Recent talks have been on the Flax and the Linen Industry in the North West; the Jacobite Rebellions; By Ice Breaker to Antarctica; Pirates!; John Ruskin. and Lancaster Museum at 100 years. A very varied mix!

We have a meeting each month, except in August when there is a coach trip, and in December when we have no meeting due to proximity to Christmas.
