RIMINGTON IMAGES - PAST AND PRESENT

Over the years through his own endeavours but mainly the generosity of others Brian Stott has collected a large number of postcards and other images of Rimington and Middop, going back well over 100 years. These are now accessible and have been arranged into appropriate groupings. There are a lot of buildings, especially farmhouses, we don't have an old picture of. If you can provide one of these pictures please get in touch.  New pictures keep turning up and any other ones would be very welcome to add to the collection and build a record of people and places in the village in times gone by. If you have any pictures as digital images they can be sent to Brian at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. If you have prints then Brian can also be contacted to arrange for the prints to be scanned and returned.
Grateful thankyous also go to Trevor and Lesley Marklew and Barrie Tyrer without whose additions, time and technical wizardry this material would not be available to everyone.  Barbara Spencer, Dorothy Falshaw and Shirley Penman have also provided pictures.

Rimington & Middop Heritage Day

Ribble Valley Archaeology and Local Historian Brian Stott are holding another Heritage Day

At Rimington Memorial Institute
On Sunday 16 March 11am to 4pm

As well as information on the village's heritage generally there will be information on the exciting archaeological digs we have done in Rimington; these are on the Roman Road and in the search for a lost medieval chapel. We have found well preserved remains of the Roman road and in the search for the chapel we have found the foundations of a large medieval stone building, along with many pieces of medieval pottery and at least one confirmed piece of Roman pottery.

This is a fantastic opportunity to find out about your local heritage, find out how to have a go at archaeology and ask us questions about what we have found and our future plans.
