- **Event Description**: Celebrate Ormskirk’s legends! Join us as we honour remarkable residents who deserve a blue plaque for shaping our town’s storyAbout this EventHow many of Ormskirk’s plaques and memorials do you really know?  In this brand‑new talk, local historians Dot Broady‑Hawkes and Kathryn MacDonald of Ormskirk Heritage Hub uncover the remarkable stories behind the town’s commemorations — from the well‑known to the long‑forgotten.Some memorials are hidden in plain sight, others we pass every day without ever noticing. Dot and Kathryn bring these stories back to life, exploring figures such as Joseph Brandreth, the pioneering physician whose work shaped early public health, and William Moorcroft, celebrated as England’s first veterinary surgeon.They also champion residents who should be recognised with a blue plaque. Among them:James Ikin Nunnerley, the Ormskirk man who survived the Charge of the Light BrigadeThe town’s famous gingerbread ladies, who stood at the railway station in all weathers selling their iconic waresRobert Harkness, the distinguished geologist whose work influenced Victorian scienceDot and Kathryn make the case for these extraordinary individuals — and others — whose contributions deserve to be remembered.Who deserves a blue plaque? Come along, hear the stories, and decide for yourself.
