Greenwood's Map of Lancashire, 1818 - a fascinating look at early 19th-century Lancashire within its real boundaries. Look at the spelling of some of the town names and how they have changed.
- Based
in Chorley, Lancashire, Derian House opened its doors in October 1993 in response to a steadily increasing number of sick children suffering from a vast range of illnesses - all of them illnesses with the potential to end their lives in a matter of weeks, months or sometimes years. For each of these children with a terminal or life threatening illness, their families face the heartache of knowing that as they continue to care for the child they love, there may well be all too few tomorrows.
Despite this, Derian House isn't a place of sadness and despair. Indeed there is a sense of purpose in the undaunted spirit of these special children who allow us into their lives, often for all too short a time. Anyone who visits the hospice will find it to be a place with a very special atmosphere which owes its being to the children, parents and staff alike... a place where every precious moment counts.
In terms of income they are a Children's Hospice providing specialised care 365 days a year with only 4 days running costs within period financed through statutory funding.
This means they are a charity almost totally dependent on voluntary income and the need to raise in excess of £915,000 this year is an ever-present challenge.

The Oldham Tinkers - are for me one of the finest set of musicians ever to come out of the Red Rose county. Their comedy and musical tradition epitomise the best of Lancashire and they have remained true to their roots. They can make you cry and make you laugh. John Howarth for me is Oldham's equivalent to Eric Morecambe. Only slower...
