Welcome to the Flickr page of Knowsley Archives. Here we will be posting images from our archive collections and of the various community outreach projects we are involved in.

Knowsley Archives are based at the Archive Resource for Knowsley (ARK) in Kirkby, Merseyside, UK. There, we hold a collection of the historical records and documents that reflect the social and political history of the communities that make up the modern borough of Knowsley, incorporating the communities of Cronton, Halewood, Huyton, Kirkby, Knowsley Village, Prescot, Roby, Stockbridge Village, Tarbock and Whiston.

Our unique collections include documents, maps and photographs, dating back as far as the 13th century, which tell stories of real people living and working in the area.

Our three year Heritage Lottery funded programme is enabling us to catalogue and digitise much of our remarkable collection, creating an online resource that will be accessible to the public and allow people to search and view items from the collection. Alongside this, we are delivering a series of nine community-focussed projects that will actively engage groups across the borough in learning about and participating in Knowsley’s history and heritage.

Please take a look through this ever-growing collection of images and comment on or tag them - we'd love you to share your memories and any information you think might be useful (although you'll need a Flickr account to do this).

A large collection of our historic image collection is also available to view at the Knowsley Archives website
