Very little is written about the history of Ellesmere Port - originally a canal town formed in 1795. It has a fascinating story which our local history society is desperately trying to record before the memories are gone. The Pioneer has already proved our most valuable source but only from paper cuttings past librarians have diligently collected. Much has been missed. We think we have funding for a series of booklets up until the end of 2016 so going through the microfilm is far too slow. 3 substantial booklets already written and proving very popular but much more needed.
