The Blackberry Line - Walk and Talk Workshop

During this two hour ‘walk and talk’ workshop we will share and discuss stories of the old Derwent Valley Light Railway or ‘Blackberry Line’ that is now a footpath and cycle path through Tang Hall, York. Our aim is to gather stories of the line – past and present – that could help other people discover this special green space through a short film and website.

We will meet at St Nicks Environment Centre and go on a short walk along the Blackberry Line to refresh memories, share stories, and – perhaps – pick a blackberry or two. We’ll then return to St Nicks for a hot drink and some blackberry bakes, and discuss our stories and how they might inspire the film and website.
