Restoration Project

The Heritage Centre has been re-painted, re-carpeted and fitted with visitor information display panels. Over winter, the Cottage which has also been restored will be furnished so that it can be offered as a holiday let property for part of the year. Keep up to date with the final stages of work on our restoration page.

Keep up to date with what’s happening through our free email newsletter, or return to this page regularly.

Heysham History

Our Heysham timeline shows notable dates in Heysham’s history and we have recently added an article about the Vanadis (the remains of the wreck are in Morecambe Bay, and some of the artefacts including a cannon are on display in the heritage Centre).
For researchers, we have a range of useful publications including Heysham’s Jewel and other DVDs which make great gifts.
Our photographic image collection is regularly expanded to show pictures of the Heysham area from the turn of the 20th century and how village life and local vistas have been depicted by artists.
