History walks postponed

Posted 5 days ago

It is with regret that, due to a health issue, local historian Peter Crowhurst has been forced to postponed his planned Queen’s Park history walks that were due to take place during August. Pending a medical procedure, Peter hopes to be able to offer some new history walk dates in the Autumn.

Commenting, Geoffrey Bowden, Friends of Queen’s Park said: “I am certain that everyone wishes Peter a speedy recovery once he has had his treatment.”

In August local historian Peter Crowhurst (pictured) will be leading two Queen’s Park history walks covering the development of Queen’s Park and the adjacent streets, that were once part of the park estate.

The first walk is on Sunday, 16th and will start at 11 am at the Park Street entrance. It is expected to last an hour and three quarters. The second will take place on Sunday, 23rd August and will start from the same location.

Places are limited and will be allocated on a first-come-first-served basis.

As the walk covers all areas of the Park, participants are asked not to bring their dogs.  Click HERE to reserve your place and remember to specify which of the two dates you wish to take part in.
