Bowland Scrapbook

Bowland Scrapbook Re-printed!

Bowland ScrapbookThe Bowland Scrapbook was published in November 2014 and was so popular, it sold out in a month!  However,  you can view the book here via Joomag and we've now printed some more!
The Scrapbook contains some fantastic stories and old photographs, all generously contributed by members of the public as part of our 50th Anniversary year celebrations.

The Bowland Scrapbook is featured at the Museum of Lancashire in Preston, as part of the Forest of Bowland Anniversary exhibition (until 26th July), and the publication is available to purchase at their shop. The Scrapbook is also on sale again around Bowland and you can pick up your copy for just £5 from the following outlets:

  • Slaidburn stores and post office
  • Puddleducks, Dunsop Bridge

All proceeds from sales go to Champion Bowland to support projects which improve our outstanding landscape.

The Scrapbook project is continuing to collect stories from the last fifty years. The volunteers involved have all been trained by the North West Sound Archive in Clitheroe and are beginning to record interviews with people identified over the summer. These include farmers, cheese makers, publicans and land owners. The recordings will be deposited with the NWSA and snippets will be made available on our History Pin website along with many of the photos we are uploading: please take a look!
