Many of our visitors at the Centre are long time Lymm residents, both past and present.  Some come to learn a little about Lymm’s history.  Others come to rekindle memories of growing up in Lymm many years ago.  The Lymm Archive (thelymmarchive.co.uk), acts as a fantastic key to unlocking some of those memories. Our volunteers have lost count of the number of fantastic stories and anecdotes that have been shared with them over the years.

​

So now we are giving  all these memories an exhibition of their own-

Lymm In Living Memory,

where we can combine the stories with photographs from the archive to paint a picture of post-war Lymm through to the end of the 1980s.   

​

Please share a favourite memory or memories  (or even a photograph of your own) that we include in the exhibition.    It could be any subject. 

 Did you have a favourite shop or pub? What made it special?

 A trip to the May Queen fair or the cinema perhaps or a steam train ride to Warrington or Manchester.    Maybe there was a sad moment as you watched a familiar building being demolished or a funny incident that has stayed with you down the years.

 Try to keep your story short: 100 words maximum if possible , think of it as a “snapshot”.
