Introduction

The Ramsbottom Heritage Society is a registered charity which promotes the history of Ramsbottom, as well as recording the present through photographs. See About for further information.

The Research section of the website has been redesigned with a Research Home Page of 12 areas of research, and a sub menu under Research Topics. Hopefully this will help the visitor to locate all our research articles in a simple way.

Alternatively all the articles are on the Research Index Page

If you want to go direct to the research area you are interested in, the most popular options are
Photo Database / Magazines / Maps / Lloyd George Census / Occupants of Streets and Buildings / Bury Archives  

There is also a Facebook group for research and sharing memories of Ramsbottom, as well as promoting events

The programme for all the meetings in 2026 are on the Monthly Meetings Page 

The exhibition of the story of the Chatterton Catastrophe in 1826 is now in Ramsbottom Library.
