Westhoughton History Group
Welcome to Westhoughton Local History Group
The Group has grown steadily since it was established in 2005 and fortnightly meetings upstairs were held in Westhoughton Library attracting over 70 members. However, the Library is currently unavailable so for the time being meetings will be held on the 3rd Thursday mornings in Westhoughton Methodist Church Hall.
Some are content to come and listen to presentations or to meet old friends whilst others are actively researching the history of the town.
For further details of our meetings, or any other aspect of our diverse activities, please contact us :
A number of publications have been produced over the years and details of these can be found on the publications page of this website.
