.Vi lla ge rs from Downham and .Twiston have joined together


'. to try to.save The Downham Banner.


' T The Banner was made in


. 'I885 to.commemorate the Centenary o f the Downham


’ BenevolentSociety.Theaimof the project is to have the Ban­ ner professionally conserved


andputonpermanentdisplay atThe Museum of Lancashire in Preston.


:g.vThe team have this week- - launched a website - www. ’


d ow n h am b an n e r .com which explains the history of ; the Benevolent Society and ? the purpose o f th e Banner,


V


•'which wasusedduringtheSo-- ciety’s meetings and parades. The next step is to submit a-: grant application to the Na- - tional Heritage Lottery Fund 1 to coverthecostsofconserva-


tionanddisplayoftheBanner. ’ T Th e bid is backed by St


Leonard’s Parish Church .. (wheretheBanneriscurrently ?'


. 'DownhamyillageHall,aswell 1 as Lancashire County Council;' The conservation ofthe B a n - - ner will be undertaken by the ?: T Conservation Department of -


: the People’s History Museum, Manchester.


0 ?It is hoped that a decision' will be made by the National ■ ; Heritage Lottery Fund later ■ this summer and that conser- > •


’. vation work will start soon af- ? ter, with the restored banner ’


• on display in the autumn'of* next year. Mini banners will also be produced for use b y ^ the project’s four hubs 7 the


'Church, library, school ands villagehall.


. Tom McLean, co-ordinator


of the downhambanner.com Steering Group, commented:; ; “The Banner.is badly in


need of conservation and is •/ too fragile to be displayed in ■? its'current condition. , “lfwe can obtain the grant ?-:


then this bit o f Lancashire’s ;' history can besaved and made ?; accessible to all for the benefit ? ofourchildren and futuregen- erations”.
