Lancashire Records Office
The Lancashire Records Office (LRO) is located next to County Hall on Fishergate. It contains records of families such as births, marriages, deaths, wills, census returns. Also maps and deeds old and new and plenty of other material. It covers the whole of Lancashire including some areas within the old boundaries of Lancashire.
There is a group of 'friends' who contribute to new facilities and broadening the range of information available.
This is an excellent facility for those interested in researching family or local history. Identification and registration is needed to access the data.
IT is open on weekdays and some Saturdays. More information can be found on their website.
