Local History
Knowsley has many local history collections at
Huyton
Library and Kirkby Library. Here you can find historic
maps, local newspapers and books for reference and loan to help you
find out about the history of Knowsley and the wider area.
Prescot Museum also has its own collection of
objects, photographs and documents.
Each branch
library also has its own smaller collection of books and
maps.
We are always keen to acquire further material such as
photographs, publications and original records about local people,
organisations and events. So please think of us next time you clear
out the attic!
The Knowsley History website
captures the events of our time with a comprehensive archive about
the borough and a guestbook to share your stories and thoughts.
