Welcome
The Whitworth Historical Society & Heritage Museum
The Whitworth Historical Society is located at the Whitworth Heritage Museum
on North Street, Whitworth, which is in the borough of Rossendale in East
Lancashire. Our opening hours are usually from 11am to 4pm on Saturdays
only except by special arrangement - please note that the museum will be
closed during the holiday period, and won’t re-open until Saturday 3rd of
February 2024.
The society also operates a very popular programme of monthly lectures, and
these are usually held on the first Wednesday of each month between the
months of September and June. For the 2023-24 season they will again be held
at the Hallfold URC on Hall Street to allow for greater social distancing, so
please do be sure to check our ‘Lectures’ or ‘News’ pages for any updates or
changes before travelling .
We are always happy to hear from anyone with any artifacts or photographs
relating to Whitworth, which we might be able to add to our collection or make
copies of, but due to lack of storage space we can't usually take items that
don't have any sort of link with the area. If you have anything you might like to
donate or loan please do get in touch with us, we'd love to hear from you. You
can find out how to contact us via our 'contact' page.
