The Research Library is located in the Scout Hall, 7 Wigan Road, Ormskirk. There are a few steps into the building & we are actually based upstairs but items can be brought down if required.  Please see the map below. The Hall is a short walk from the bus station, the railway station and local car parks. The best link to show the location of the car parks seems to be https://www.westlancs.gov.uk/more/your-community/roads-and-travel/parking-in-ormskirk.aspx

The Research Library is currently open by request - please contact Kathryn MacDonald at: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
