New illustrated book delves into Lancashire's fascinating heritage
Titled 'Illustrated Tales of Lancashire' by local historian and author David Paul, the book - described as "a fascinating collection of bizarre and off-beat tales and illustrations" - delves into the fervent tapestry of one of England's most diverse counties, exploring its story-laden and often shocking past.
Bringing to life some of the area's strangest mythical tales involving a range of places, events, and people seldom mentioned in standard histories or guides, the book features over 100 illustrations on strange happenings, hoaxes, interesting remains, witchcraft, and incredible legends.
