History Trail June 2012

 

The History Trail was launched during the first Six Streets Arts Trail  (23-24 June 2012)

Over 500 people visited the exhibition & information area. People also had a choice of a self guided walk around local streets using the trail leaflet or looking at features of interest in the area with a guide.  

Fantastic contacts were made with people with knowledge of the area to add to the group's archives.

The recreated Air Raid Shelter in the grounds of Parkfields House was a step back in time.

Visitors had a chance to look at authentic documents and objects from World War 2 and find out about the air raid precautions that were in place in the Six Streets.
