Littleborough from Cleggswood Hill
Welcome to Littleborough's History
The 1897 Diamond Jubilee for Queen Victoria
and my website.
It has been revised
to provide more information
on Littleborough. There are more pages but also Summary pages
if you just want to get an
overview of the
town.

This revised website includes 3 Summary Pages. The Overview covers the Geography and History of Littleborough. The next 2 pages providing more details on types of Work and Companies once common in Littleborough and Living includes Housing and Larger Houses and Halls, Recreation, Churches and Chapels and Schools. Together they provide an introduction to the town which may satisfy your initial curiosity.
​
For more detailed information. the website has 30 or more (when new pages are added) pages which go deeper into the History of Industry, Transport and (to come) housing and people. Many of the detailed pages are accessed by clear drop-down Menus. These are where there is a 'v' next to the a menu heading.
​
However, even then, there may be more you want to learn and that can generally be satisfied by the 20 or so Booklets which have been printed or in preparation which drill further into the detail. ​Beyond that please email me on elboroistry@gmail.com
