    A tasty afternoon is in prospect this Saturday as the latest ‘Images of Burscough and Surrounding Areas’ exhibition’s staged at the Stanley Club, Burscough from 10am – 4pm.



    Mr David Lavery, grandson of Isaac Herbert Lavery the founder of the well known cake factory that once employed up to 2000 people in its Red Cat Lane factory in Burscough, will be opening the exhibition.









    There will be over 480 old images of the local area including Ormskirk, Scarisbrick, Lathom, Rufford and Newburgh, with many items of local memorabilia on display including items from HMS Ringtail.

    And keeping to the Lavery’s theme, there will be free samples of ‘Burscough Lemon Slab Cake,’ a variation to the slab cake that was once made at Laverys. There will also be Ormskirk gingerbread and Shortbread from an old recipe by Burscough’s Emma Vickers to sample.

    Also attending will be Richard Houghton from the Lathom and Burscough Military Heritage Society, the Ormskirk and District Family History Society and Burscough Heritage Group all with various displays and information.

    There’s also a raffle and items for sale – calendars, Christmas cards, fridge magnets, mounted prints, all with a local theme. Local photographer and historian Michael Dawson has also produced 26 information sheets on various local subjects -including the recipes to the samples available on the day – all free for people to take home.

    A large screen will be on the stage showing many old local cine films including one from Laverys in the 1950s: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q1BQYy5Czdc&t=339s



    Said Michael: “As I am always on the lookout for old photos of our local area, could I ask that if you have any that maybe of interest please bring them on the day as I will have my laptop and scanner available to make copies.

    “Please check out our three Facebook groups by searching ‘Images of Burscough and Surrounding Areas’ or the website, www.images-of-burscough.co.uk for thousands of local images.
