Frodsham & District History Society

The society was formed in 1981 and now has a membership of approximately 70.
Our interests range from the local history of Frodsham and District to the wider aspects of history reflected in the topics covered by our monthly meetings.
Over the years the group has published many books and pamphlets covering the local area. These are available at Castle Park Arts Centre.
