HISTORY

“Billy and Betty”

William and Betty Lloyd were brother and sister, neither had married, and they resided in Darwen most of their lives. They had benefitted from investment in the cotton trade. In 1974 they formed the Trust with a small but significant gift and it later benefitted with a substantial legacy from their estates.
