Residents are invited to explore Horwich’s past at a special afternoon of heritage films taking place at Horwich Heritage Centre on Tuesday 28 July. 

Presented by local historian Stuart Whittle, the event will feature two films highlighting the town’s rich history.

The Life and Times of George Fisher looks back at the experiences of a former senior foreman at Horwich Works, while Horwich in the Great War tells the story of Tommy Edwards and the impact of the First World War on the town.

The screening will run from 2.30pm to 3.30pm at Horwich Heritage Centre on Beaumont Road. 

Admission is free for Horwich Heritage members and non-members can attend for £2.

Refreshments will be provided and there is no need to book in advance.

The event offers local people the chance to learn more about Horwich’s industrial and wartime heritage through film.
