Horwich Heritage was founded in 1985, aimed at re-establishing a sense of local pride in the wake of the closure of Horwich Locomotive Works the previous year. 

The group holds exhibitions, history talks and trips, and works on heritage projects in the town, from installing plaques to rescuing relics from its industrial past.
