The Vault: A Story Bank

The Original strong room, in the visitor Information centre in the old bank on main street, Kirkby lonsdale has become a story bank. The safety deposit boxes keep safe films with fascinating characters and stories from the areas past and present. A great attraction and good start to your visit to this beautiful market town

The vault may be located at the back of the Town and Tourist Information Shop, but is well worth seeing if you love your local history in the Lune Valley or your history as it tells you so much about the area even if you are staying nearby or passing through the town as the vault is original as the building itself was a bank. I may have lived in the area all my life and seen two information videos, but will be listening to all of it soon and learning even more information about the famous names and the stories that made Kirkby Lonsdale and the surrounding area well known to so many and is also interactive to so it's great for friends, families, couples, on your own or businesses and anybody who loves history, so it's a great way to introduce yourself to Kirkby Lonsdale as a new person or family in the local area, or as a resident who is proud to live there and know the history of the area you call home or remind yourself of it.

I phoned first and left a message on the answer phone when no-one answered. We were visiting the area soon and I wanted some information regarding things to do in the area. A week later a map and some brochures arrived in the post, mostly walks and country parks locally but useful. Many thanks. When we visited Macclesfield, we called in for directions to a particular mill shop and a restaurant. It was easy to find, in the market place. The lady was very helpful.

Official Walking Tours of Knutsford run every Friday afternoon (at 2pm from May-October. The Centre also houses the famous Knutsford Tapestry, measuring 52 metres it took 4 years to complete and involved 3,000 people in the stitching. It captures the architecture and every day life of Knutsford in the year 2000.

Reviewed By verity1

As well as the astonishing tapestry, which the lady volunteers told us all about, there is a touching memorial to local soldiers killed in WW1 and a pretty courtyard garden kept up by one of the gardeners from Dunham Massey. If you want to find out a lot about Knutsford, this is for you. It is a small place, not suitable for very large groups.

It's a really different building. Mind it's Blackpool so nothing amazes me just now here. The tourist office is vital to Blackpool. You can buy tram passes , theatre tickets and get all the leaflets you with ever need. Staff are friendly and welcoming.
