About this event

How can you date a building from its appearance? When is Tudor actually mock-Tudor and when is Georgian not Georgian? On this walk, we will look above the shop fronts to spot the tell-tale signs of the stories of some familiar but intriguing buildings.

'Buildings have been demolished or destroyed over the ages, but the High Street has retained its charm, not without some bitter battles at times.' Hugh, a guide on this walk
