A heritage trail of everyday people: self-guided walk
How well do you know your local shops and businesses?
COME on a self-guided walking tour of our local High Streets.
LOOK for the historical blue plaque vinyls in the windows of nearby shops and businesses.
FIND out about the hidden histories of people and trades that were ‘here before us’ and the way we used to live and shop.
WONDER about the extraordinary occupants from decades ago.
DISCOVER the changing face of our High Streets.
We hope you enjoy our walking ‘time machine’ displayed in around 40 different windows. You will uncover unusual trades, past lives and, who knows, maybe even find a local connection to you! The stories of the real lives of local people and their businesses help us to focus on the changing face of our existing high streets and their importance to the social and economic well-being of the community.
If you are business in the area (our elsewhere in the Borough) and are interested in having a plaque, then please contact us.
