Welcome, and note the link above the map which outlines changes made to the website.
This website was set up in the latter half of 2016 primarily to showcase my new book on the Lancashire Watch Company (LWC). I added a section to document information about the LWC which I keep discovering since my book was published, and which I might have included in my book had I known it at the time of writing. And given the inextricable relationship with the LWC and Prescot, I have also added a section on watches which were not made by LWC but have ‘Prescot’ on the movement.
