Easton Lodge held training for soldiers heading to WW1 and there was an airfield in the Easton Lodge estate during WW2. Information from the Trust’s archives will tell the stories of the men and women involved. Visitors will also learn from a range of other local museum and community group displays, tbc. Live songs from the Lancashire Belle will evoke the era and get us singing along.
