References

My policy is to undertake original research wherever possible, and to visit locations to take first-hand evidence.  However, in other texts, there are undoubtedly unique and otherwise unobtainable stories and tales.   Where quoted, these have generally been referenced, and evidence has been cross-checked.

You may notice that some images are Copyright Lancashire County Council.  These are from the Lancashire Lantern archive, and I have paid for permission to use the images.

There are also some images with a self-imposed watermark across the bottom which states “cc-by-sa”.  This means that the photographer released these images with a Creative Commons Share Alike license – the same license with which I present this site.  Please see copyright, which isn’t anything like as restrictive as you might expect, although commercial and/or non-attributed useage is not permitted.
