Labour History Lancs.
Hello Everyone!
Labourhistorylancs.com (LHL) is back and as one can see, we have a brand new look.
You know us, we’re not updating because we are technical IT dudes, no sirrree. We’re updating just to make access easier and hopefully make your reading more enjoyable. So please do read on.
This month we have lots of interesting articles and updates from our team of writers. Alan has started a new series where he is looking at artefacts and items around NE Lancs, Rex has written a piece about the Mormons and Gustav tells the story of the Swedish ‘white buses’. Ooooeeerr!
So, put the kettle on mum and enjoy a good read and the start of spring.
Best
