Lancashire Infantry Museum, Preston

Founded in 1929, the museum is in the Fulwood Barracks in Preston and houses one of the largest Infantry Regimental collections in the country.

The displays, archive and military history library illustrate the story of the East, South and North Lancashire Regiments from their earliest foundation in 1689 to their achievements in the 21st-century. Galleries include the “Medal Corridor” in which 3 out of the 5 Victoria Crosses’ the museum owns are displayed, the “Somme Room” which displays the Regiments history from the Boer War to Afghanistan, and the “Council Chamber” which displays valued paintings and silver from the forebears of the Duke of Lancaster’s Regiment.
