The Runcorn & District Historical Society was founded in 2000, after meetings between three Runcorn history stalwarts, Messrs W.E.(Bill) Leathwood, H.F.(Bert) Starkey, and C.A.(Alex) Cowan. Well over 50 people attended the inaugural meeting, held in the Christ Church Hall at Weston Point. Due to this hall being too small, we changed the venue to St. John's (Weston) Church hall in 2004. At present (2012) we have over 80 members, and we meet once per month for talks and events. We have a growing number of documents and photos of the Runcorn area, many held privately by our members. We also have our web site, operated by ourselves and therefore easily adaptable at any time.
We meet on the first Friday of each month at 7.30 p.m. in the Church Hall at St. John's Church in Weston (situated behind the Church) except for August when we have a trip out rather than a normal meeting
Our Membership fee is £8 per annum but visitors are welcome to any of our meetings for £2 per meeting. You can,of course, become a full member at any meeting, where we will be very happy to welcome you.
