LOCAL HISTORY HUB CHESHIRE WEST & CHESTER
We’re excited to announce the launch of a new Local History Hub in Cheshire West & Chester, a collaborative network bringing together schools, heritage organisations, and local communities to explore the area’s unique history and shared stories.
Our Schools Leads, Jess Kelly and Dan Underhill, are working alongside Amelia Bain-McCullough, our Community Lead, to shape the Hub’s direction and develop a strong, place-based partnership with local historical organisations.
This page will soon feature updates, stories, and ways to connect—so stay tuned!
