Welcome to the Rainford Heritage Society Website.

Rainford, originally a small Lancashire village, is situated to the north of the major industrial town of St Helens in the county of Merseyside
.
The Rainford Heritage Society was formed by a group of local people with the aim of rediscovering and recording the rich agricultural and industrial past of the village.

We meet regularly throughout the year and take part in local events to encourage an interest in the heritage of the area in which we live, and to pursue our aim.
