Welcome to our first exhibition: WORK/LIFE.
WORK/LIFE is funded by Historic England’s Everyday Heritage programme. It dives into the working class history of East Lancashire to explore the changing relationships between work and leisure, town and countryside.
Focused on picturesque villages at the foot of Pendle Hill – Barley, Newchurch-in-Pendle and Roughlee – WORK/LIFE explores how families from local mill towns travelled to the countryside for relaxation, and how this transformed these tiny villages into rural leisure destinations for workers between 1900-1980.
