DURING our Down Memory Lane research, we came across some fascinating pictures of the Ancient Order of Foresters, and we had to find out more.

The Ancient Order of Foresters was a large 19th and 20th‑century Friendly Society that provided mutual financial support (especially sick pay and funeral benefits) to its members and their families.
