- Ormskirk and District Family History Society (registered charity no. 1004895) invite you to join us on a tour of Haskayne and Downholland, as we combine a series of photos taken in the early 2010s with some up-to-date views of the local area, taken during the summer of 2022.
Along the way, we’ll explore some date stones, family photos donated by our members and supporters, and other resources (including census returns, trade directories and items from the Lancashire Archives catalogue) that can be used to investigate the history of West Lancashire - and even your own family’s story - in greater depth.

Do you have any old photos / footage from Banks, just North of Southport.
I think we probably do, but at present, they are likely to be in books kept in our research library in Ormskirk; Banks is actually just outside our bit of the map (although we do have a few members researching ancestors from Banks). However, another organisation that may be able to help you are North Meols Family History Society; they cover pretty much the whole Southport area, and they have got a website at nmfhssouthport.co.uk/ so they may have a gallery on there, or know of a resource for old photos. Hope that is a little bit of use; I can easily check our own library catalogue, if that would be helpful.
