It is with deep sadness that we learn of the passing of Lord Doug Hoyle. Lord Hoyle was a patron of FORL who as a Lancastrian himself, born in #Warrington, was a loyal guardian of this historic county. Our thoughts are with his son @LindsayHoyle_MP and his family at this time.

50 years ago today, our county was carved up. There’s absolutely nothing to celebrate in this but let us celebrate the fact that our boundaries have been in place for hundreds of years, certainly since 1182. If you were born in this area, even post 1974 you are a Lancastrian. 🌹

See our #lancashire #AdventCalendar on Facebook. A daily tour of the historic county. Days 1 & 2 took us to the most northern, southern, western & eastern points on the #historiclancashire compass. Today we tour producers of sweets. What’s the first name that springs to mind?
