THE fascinating history of Lancaster’s maritime past is brought to life in audio dramas, films and artwork on a newly launched website.

Led by The Dukes and supported by the Heritage Lottery Fund, Port Stories is the result of a four month community project that has also involved award-winning writers and professional actors, including former Coronation Street favourite, Julie Hesmondalgh, who voices one of four audio dramas available on the website.
