The Eccles & District History Society is one of the longest-established history societies in the North West of England.
Read about its history and aims on our History of the Society page.
The Society is for anyone with an interest in history, especially that of the Eccles, Swinton and Worsley areas. Talks range from topics of local interest to those of national history, though the latter will often have a local link of sorts.
We meet monthly at Alexandra House, Liverpool Road, Peel Green. Excursions, walks and visits to places of interest are also arranged.
To join - just turn up and join at one of our meetings.
The annual subscription from September 2012 is £12.00.
If you’d like to “try before you buy” or would simply like to come along to one particular meeting then you are most welcome.
The visitor’s fee is £3.00.
You will find that meetings are informal and friendly.
Most meetings take the form of a talk by a guest speaker: please see our Programme for details.
For information about the history of Eccles see our sister website Memories of Eccles.
If you have any enquiry about the history of Eccles then we will try and help, but the most appropriate contact is most likely to be Salford Local History Library, where the Eccles collection is held.
