From the bright lights of Blackpool on the coast to the cobbled streets of Burnley in the heart of the countryside, Lancashire is as diverse as it gets.
Lancashire is always celebrated on November 27. It goes back 1295 when the first elected representatives from Lancashire stood in Parliament, shaping the nation’s destiny.
From the legacy of the Pendle Witches, to canals, rolling hills, cheese makers and miles of sandy beaches, Lancashire has a rich past.
