Heysham Heritage Centre

This 17th century longhouse (cottage and barn) is an unusual example of surviving 17th century village architecture. In the 20th century the longhouse was converted into a cottage and two lock up shops, No. 22, 24, 26 Main St. Heritage Trust for the North West acquired the two lock up shops in 1999 and converted with grant aid from many organisations and individuals to form a small Heritage Centre for Heysham Village. The Centre was opened in 2000, and has been visited by over 80,000 people, exceeding all expectations. It is run entirely by dedicated volunteers from Heysham Heritage Association, with a small grant from Lancaster City Council.
