Please keep an eye out for a ‘Postcard tour of Turton’ to be given to the Edgworth WI in April 2025. Later on in the year, there will be another TLHS talk based on a somewhat serendipitous tour of a collection of Bolton and Turton postcards, ephemera and collectables. Dates have not yet been established, although it is likely to be towards the end of 2025. Exact dates on both will be given on a future update.
The next TLHS booklet will be slightly different to the other 38, in that it is a celebration of 50 years of Turton Local History Society; the Society had its first meeting in August 1974. As well as recognising the contribution of writers and committee members over the past 50 years, the booklet is an attempt to capture, in timeline format, the entire history of Turton. Already in draft format it is hoped that it will appear in print before the end of 2024.
