About Us

We’re not your average history buffs – We’re the “been there, done that, bought the tee shirt” crew with an insatiable appetite for uncovering the hidden stories of Allerton Bywater and Bowers.

Armed with cutting edge technology, and fuelled by boundless curiosity, we dive deep into the archives, dig through the data, and piece together the puzzle of our local heritage.

Standing on the shoulders of former local history giants who came before us, we’re eternally grateful for their groundwork as we continue the mission: Bringing our community’s rich past into vivid focus for today and tomorrow.

Whether we’re mapping forgotten pathways, restoring faded photographs, researching long lost coal mines or recording the memories of our oldest (and young) residents, we’re passionate about making history accessible, engaging and alive.

Join us as we journey through time – where every discovery feels like treasure and every answer leads to ten more fascinating questions!
