A walk through Blackburn will take place this weekend as part of Polish Heritage Day celebrations.
The Adam Mickiewicz Polish Saturday School is organising the walk on Saturday May 7, which is due to end at Witton Park Visitor's centre.
The route will take in places which were and are still linked to the Polish community who settled here after the war and later as new emigrants from 2004.
The walk begins at St Anne's RC Church on Prince's St where mass is now celebrated every Sunday, and past St Anne's RC Primary School where the Polish School transferred for a short time.
Secretary, Jan Poninska, said: "Participants will then make their way through the grounds of Blackburn College onto Barbara Castle Way, Preston New Road passing the Polish Catholic Centre at 44 Preston New Road which opened in December 1980.
"The Adam Mickiewicz Polish Saturday School Blackburn was based here until an expansion of pupils and it is also the home of Father Robert, the Polish parish priest.
"The walk then continues up Preston New Road passing the Polish Ex-Combatants Club on Shear Brow, which closed in 2000.
"The walk continues up to 143 Preston New Road, where the polish parish was set up after the war in 1947 and was the home of the parish priest."
Then participants will pass the Sacred Heart RC church where Polish mass was celebrated with the inception of the Polish parish until December 1980. Funerals continued to be conducted here until 2015.
Then it will head down Billinge Avenue onto Buncer Lane towards the entrance to Witton Park near the school and onto the visitor's centre.
After the war Polish soldiers attached to General Anders Polish army were stationed here for a time as part of the Polish Resettlement Corps under the command of the British Army until they were able to settle into civilian life.
