The North West Sound Archive was founded in Manchester in 1979. It was relocated to Clitheroe in 1982, where it occupied the third floor of the Clitheroe Castle Museum.[1] It was the largest archive of sound recordings in the UK outside of London, holding over 140,000 items.[2] The archive was closed in 2015 due to financial circumstances.[2] The archive material was relocated to the Manchester Central Library, Liverpool Central Library, and the Lancashire Archives, depending on the location that the material related to.[3]
