You may not know it but the Leigh Society runs the Heritage Centre in the Old Town. Here we bring to the public a wealth of information and knowledge about Leigh and its people. We give educational talks to local schools and publish our Newsletter The Leighway four times a year - its packed with interest and articles on Leigh. The Leigh Society responds to planning applications and has a remit to do what it can to protect our heritage. We are all volunteers and get no grants
