Local History

Knowsley's main local history collection is at
Huyton Library.
There you will 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.
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.
