The Birchley Hall Press

 

A brief history of the Birchley Hall Press

A printing press was first set up in Birchley Hall, Lancashire in the early 1600's. About 19 titles published between 1620 and 1650 are associated with the Birchley Hall Press in the English Short Title Catalogue of the British Library.

The Birchley Hall Press was resurrected in 1951 in the same building, with the publication of This is the Faith, now mercifully out of print. A few further titles were published up to at least 1960, including A Flame for Africa (1953) and Liverpool's Hidden Story (1957).

In its current incarnation, the Birchley Hall Press is merely a means to an end.
