Becconsall Logo. Tall orange capital letters read BECCONSALL. The O takes up only 2/3rd of the height of the line with an underline underneath. The last L is inside/ on top of the previous L. Underneath this, also in orange capitals, but smaller, reads LANCASHIRE'S LIVING MUSEUM & HERITAGE PARK'. The logo is within a rectangle of the same orange.

Becconsall – a new museum and heritage park in development

Becconsall is a new museum and heritage park in an exciting phase of development. Situated on a 20-acre Biological Heritage Site in Hesketh Bank in West Lancashire, Becconsall will be a year-round attraction for everyone that tells the stories of everyday life in Lancashire through the ages.

Focussing on the industrial, social and craft heritage of historic Lancashire, Becconsall will promote learning, skills and wellbeing, by engaging with a wide range of audiences. Through our collections, demonstrations, re-enactments, themed events and workshops, Becconsall will generate genuine and lasting community engagement; whilst also fostering a sense of pride in the area’s rich history, from Viking settlements, to the Industrial Revolution and beyond.

Historic black and white photo of a open top bus. A conductor is stood in front of it with 4 young lads. A woman in black with a high updo and with at least one girl sits on the top deck. The bus has a sign along the top deck reading 'CHORLEY, WHITTLE LE WOODS AND BAMBER BRIDGE'. A small dark sign at the front of the bus reads B. 2084. White text is written on the photo that ends with Bamber Bridge [the start is unclear].

In common with many other living museums and heritage parks, Becconsall is independently operated, which means we receive no regular funding from government or local authorities. We derive most of our income from our supporters – people like you.

By donating today, you can help Becconsall become a thriving, special place. Every Pound will help Becconsall safeguard heritage in a way that provides ongoing benefit for communities in Lancashire and the Northwest. Donating as much as you are able, even just a few pounds, is extremely important to us and is very generous of you.
