Due to the poularity of this event we are hosting a second tour with local historian, landscape archaeologist and author Michelle Bullivant as part of the Open Cambridge Festival.  The guided heritage walk explores the rich history of Richmond Road and the surrounding area. The walking tour will be approximately 45 minutes and will start and finish at St Augustine’s Church.

Booking: To secure your free space please register on Eventbrite here.

Michelle Bullivant will be leading a guided walk, exploring some of the historical tales, local history, and highlighting the architectural details of this late Victorian estate. The walk will focus on aspects of Richmond Road, Oxford Road and Histon Road Recreation Ground, providing an opportunity to engage with the fascinating research gathered by Michelle about this unique area of Cambridge.

The guided walk forms part of the creative engagement programme for the new homes being built on the former Murketts/Histon Road site.  We warmly encourage participants to bring along personal photos and share cherished memories, or come to learn more about the area and the proposed creative project being developed by artist Jacky Oliver.

The walk will be on flat ground and paved surfaces. Refreshments will be available on return.

Booking is essential as spaces are limited, we encourage you to reserve early to avoid disappointment.

All ages are welcome. Children must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.

Further information about the creative programme for the Murketts/Histon Road site can be found here.

We look forward to seeing you there.
