  • H.S.Or L & C.VOLX
    PLR'TE I H.S.Or L & C.VOLX. 1 TKANSACTIONS. ON THE POPULATION OF LANCASHIRE AND CHESHIRE, AND ITS LOCAL DISTRIBUTION DURING THE FIFTY YEARS 1801-51. By J. T. Danson, V.P., and T. A. Welton, Bags. (RBAD lOia DECEMBKB, 1857.) PART SECOND. IN the first part of this paper we observed that the two counties, as they are now combined by the Registrar General, to form what is termed the " North Western division" of England and Wales, have an area of 1,874,000 acres. This is about 2928 square miles. And as England and Wales contain about 57,800 square miles, our own district comprises about |j| one-twentieth part of that area. The population of the N.W. division, we <,' also observed, was in 1851 about two millions and a half; and that of J | England and Wales having been, at the same date, very nearly eighteen V; millions, it follows that upon one-twentieth of the area, we had then about *Kli * one-seventh of the population of this, the most densely peopled part of the United Kingdom. The proportion is probably now different. During the fifty years in view, our section of the population had increased by 185 per cent., while that of England and Wales, on the whole, had increased only by about 100 per cent. We have no reason to suppose that these rates have, during the last six years, been materially changed. In round numbers, then, the inhabitants of Lancashire and Cheshire are probably now increasing in number at an annual rate, exceeding that of the country, as a whole, in the proportion of three to two.* Further, at the beginning of the century (1801,) the Town population of our district, treating as such that portion of it dwelling in towns of 2000 185 Per cent, in 60 years is two and one-tenth per cent, per annum.

We are proud of Ormskirk’s unique historic character, long established Town Centre Strategy and Action Plan alongside West Lancashire Borough Council. market and of the increasingly successful Edge Hill University. Ormskirk has continued to remain vibrant despite the economic downturn demonstrating the strength and importance of the town centre to the local area and beyond. Through the development and implementation of this strategy, I hope that Ormskirk town centre will continue to thrive, serving both the people of West Lancashire as well as visitors to the town. This strategy seeks to build upon some of the good work which has been done previously, whilst adding fresh impetus and vigour as we look to the future. We all know that town centres are changing and now is the time to act to ensure that the town changes with the times. It is my hope that this strategy can help Ormskirk adapt to meet the requirements of these changing times. Although Ormskirk is doing well, through the implementation of actions contained within this strategy and with the support of the public and stakeholders, the town centre will go from strength to strength attracting new businesses and both local residents and visitors from further afield.
