On Wednesday 24 April 2019, Christine Scott, president of Rainhill Civic Society unveiled two new information boards showing Heritage Walks in Rainhill. These were designed and partly funded by the Society. Funding was also provided via the Councillor Improvement Fund (CIF). Ward Councillors Barry Grunwald and Joe De Asha and the Clerk to the Parish Council, Gill Pinder, were in attendance.
The two Information Boards are located within the Shopping Precinct and inform locals and visitors alike about the variety of interesting landmarks within the village.
Each Board suggests a different Heritage Trail – a short walk of about half a mile around the Village Centre, and a longer walk from the Centre to Rainhill Stoops and back. Each walk and the accompanying text provides details of various landmarks, past and present, giving a valuable insight into Rainhill’s rich and diverse history.
Details of specific landmarks on each Heritage Trail can be accessed by scanning with a smartphone the QR code on each Interpretation Board, or by clicking on one of the images below.
