What's in a Name? Place Names of North Lancashire, with Carolyn Dalton
Carolyn Dalton shares her interest in the meanings of place names with you. Every local name has a story behind it and every time you use these names you make a connection to the history of the area around you.
Talk lasts about one hour, followed by 30 minutes for refreshments and relaxed questions and answers.
