The Roman city of Lancaster, on the banks of the River Lune, has an impressive history stretching back centuries. While it was once the home of a thriving Georgian port and later Victorian industries, many tales of the city’s past have been lost.
Secret Lancaster examines the lesser-known pieces of the city’s long and unique past, from lost buildings and forgotten events to the city’s notable residents and surviving heritage. Lancaster has many secrets to tell and as you explore its streets and buildings you take a walk into the past, giving an insight into the city’s former life.
Join author and archaeologist Billy Howorth on a journey through this inspiring city and its heritage, illustrated with original maps, images and photographs. You may think you know Lancaster, but take another look around and you will find more than you might expect.
Billy F.K. Howorth is Lancashire native, he was born in Blackburn and grew up in Morecambe. Billy studied at the University of Bradford where he gained his degree in Archaeology.
