Now in its 15th year, lots of visitors are expected to flock to the ballroom in Padiham Town Hall for the exhibition on Saturday and Sunday September 25th and 26th.

The exhibition will run from 10am to 4pm each day.

An event for all ages, visitors will enjoy a real walk down memory lane, as they take in all the 130 years of photographs and memorabilia, in particular, the centenary celebrations in the Memorial Park, a look at Padiham's industrial heritage from the 1890s, including coal mines and quarries in and around the town, current work on the town hall clock tower and, of course, the ever-popular display of school photographs.
