Previous Visits
Lancaster Castle
The Castle, dating back to the 12th century, was rebuilt and modified in the 14th & 15th century. The castle which still an active court room until 2011 housed a prison. The day was enjoyed by all with many thanks going to Gill Simpson who organised the trip and Lynne Hensor who made sure that all those who entered the castle and prison returned safely back to the coach, with no overnight stays at the accomodation it provided.
liverpool Central Library - One of our more recent visits undertaken with two groups because of its popularity. The visit to the library was part of a guided trip to explore the historic financial area of Dale Street, with our guide being our very own Chairman, Peter Ralphs, a native of Liverpool.
