In it he mentions finds from Anglezarke and the surrounding districts.

The Ley Hunter Backnumbers


For the 'oldies' out there. Remember The Ley Hunter, the 1st earth mysteries magazine. Well Jimmy Goddard has scanned in the early editions of the magazines from 1969 to 1976. The quality of the scannings a bit 'iffy', but these long out of print articles might contain a wealth of information.

Enjoy

The County Council has done it again !. Unlike MARIO, this site gives access to a lagre collecton of maps covering the county.
From general Lancasire maps such as Speed 1610, Lancashire Town maps c. 1890 to O.S. 1st Edition 6" maps c. 1845. A useful research tool!
