CALDER VALE BRASS BAND

As the report published in the Preston Chronicle on the 2nd July 1862 indicates the band was formed shortly before then.

As can be seen from the engagement notices gleaned from the papers the band was active both in Calder Vale and the surrounding area up to the early 1890's. For a number of years other bands were engaged for functions in Calder Vale and then the band was re-formed
