Burley’s shops and businesses (1)

Venue: Meet at the Roundhouse, Grange Park

Description: There are a number of indications of the significant scale of Burley’s retail and commercial sector in days gone by – if only you know where to look for them! With 9 butchers, 4 fish and chip shops, banks and a mini-department store, Burley had plenty of places for hard working mill employees to spend their brass. This 1.5 miles leisurely walk will reveal some of the history behind the buildings and green spaces now lining Main Street, Station Road and Peel Place. We aim to finish by 12.15 by taking refreshments at one of Burley’s latest businesses! No dogs, please.

Booking: Required – limit on numbers (20)

Cost: Free – bring money for refreshments.
