Thursday 28th Sept 2023

Linda Webb will be talking to us about "Hoole in the 1920s".

Thursday 19th Oct 2023

"Victorian Millinery & Prostitution", Su Lowy. The story of the milliner in the Victorian period reflects the many contradictions of that era. The talk attempts to determine what a milliner’s work was and how that trade led to a close relationship with prostitution. It also links fact and fiction & the moral mores of the time.

At 10.45 am at the Hoole and Newton War Memorial. A short act of remembrance will take place as we think about our local folk who lost their lives in conflict. The Society will be laying a wreath on your behalf.

Thursday 23rd Nov 2023

Phil Cook will explore some of the history of Mails To Ireland from 1516, the year that Royal Mail was founded, by horse, stagecoach, train and packet boat and some of the effects it had at Chester.
