H eritage Lottery Grant<br />
Thanks to the hard work of Councillor Rob Reynolds,<br />
the Parish Council has secured Heritage Lottery funding<br />
of £9160 to fund a project about Rainford’s industrial<br />
heritage. As part of this, we have started interviewing<br />
people who have memories of Rainford’s industrial past<br />
and acquiring copies of relevant photos. If you think you<br />
can help in either regard, or know someone who could,<br />
please do let us know!<br />
One discussion has taken place with Rainford resident Eric<br />
Winstanley and his brother Jimmy. This is a fascinating<br />
recording and<br />
Eric has also<br />
supplied some<br />
photos he took<br />
of steam trains<br />
passing through<br />
Rainford village<br />
along what is now<br />
the Linear Park.<br />
Additionally, Heritage Boards and replica station names<br />
will be sited along the Linear Park and at the sites of the<br />
old railway stations and the Parish Council is very grateful<br />
for the assistance and information provided by Rainford<br />
Heritage Society.<br />
The last part of the project is to design and install a<br />
memorial to Rainford residents who lost their lives in<br />
industrial accidents.<br />
The Parish Council is delighted that staff and students<br />
from Rainford High School will be involved in completing<br />
the project.<br />
Parish Council Accounts<br />
The Parish Council mainly raises funds through the<br />
precept (paid by households as part of the Council Tax)<br />
and by hiring out the Village Hall. Additionally, it organises<br />
events such as the Beer Festival and Christmas Fayre and<br />
Christmas parties.
