For those with an interest in the area the new course programme has been issued by Alston Hall, the day and residential college for adult learning near Longridge.
Local historian Stephen Sartin will be speaking about the history of Preston to be found between Ringway and the River Ribble. While other local history talks feature local parishes as well as farther afield, Liverpool, Manchester, West Midlands and Lancaster. Other more general talks on Cotton, Victorian life and canals. There are courses in many other subjects but these might appeal to anyone interested in this website.
For more information look at the Alston Hall website. Alston Hall is quite a cosy place with beautiful views over the Ribble Valley, the meals are good and the bar quite amenable.
