DARWEN people are being asked to dig out their old photographs and postcards to be included in an exhibition later in the year.

Darwen History Group are gathering people's memories and memorabilia from the town's traditional Wakes Weeks when all the factories would close at the same time and families would go away on holiday.

They are hoping for items dating from the 1880s right through to the 1980s if possible. Anyone with items or memories to share should contact Annette on 01254 706130.
