January marked a strong start to the year for Local History Hub, with several new hubs launched across England and the beginnings of a developing partnership with the Commonwealth War Graves Commission. New hubs in Accrington & Hyndburn, Durham, Coventry, Huddersfield and York reflect our continued focus on teacher-led collaboration and meaningful, place-based history learning rooted in local communities.

Local History Hub Accrington & Hyndburn is a new, teacher-led hub connecting schools, heritage organisations, and community partners to explore the area’s rich industrial, civic, and community history. Led locally by heritage and education professionals, the hub strengthens curriculum learning and helps children and communities connect with the stories that shape where they live.
